Using the empirical rule, it is found that:

a) 99.7% of people has an IQ between 64 and 136.

b) 5% of people has an IQ score less than 76 or greater than 124.

c) 16% of people has an IQ score greater than 112.

The Empirical Rule states that, for a bell-shaped(normal) distribution.

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.In this question, mean of 100 and standard deviation of 12.

Item a:

64 = 100 - 3(12)

136 = 100 + 3(12)

Within 3 standard deviations of the mean, thus, 99.7%.

Item b:

76 = 100 - 2(12)

124 = 100 + 2(12)

More than 2 standard deviations from the mean, thus 100 - 95 = 5%.

Item c:

112 = 100 + 12

More than 1 standard deviation above the mean.

100 - 68 = 32% of the measures are more than 1 standard deviation from the mean.The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that of these 32%, 16% are more than 1 standard deviation below and 16% are more than 1 standard deviation above.

Thus:

16% of people has an IQ score greater than 112.

A) 99.7% of people have an IQ between 64 and 136.

B) 5% of people have an IQ score less than 76 or greater than 124.

C) 16% of people have an IQ score greater than 112.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule tells us that, in a normal or 'bell-shaped' distribution, 68% of the data is one standard deviation from the mean, 95% of the data is two standard deviations from the mean, and 99.7% of the data is three standard deviations from the mean.

A) 64 and 136 are 3 standard deviations away from the mean, so 99.7% of people have an IQ between 64 and 136.

B) 76 and 124 are 2 standard devations away from the mean, but the answer is asking what percentage is not between them. 100% - 95% gives us 5%.

C) 112 is one standard deviation away from the mean. If we want to find the percentage greater, then we can do 100% - 50% (as 112 is to the left of the mean), then we can take half of 68 to get 34%, and after subtracting 50% and 34% from the 100%, we get 16%.
