statistics: normal distribution intelligence quotient (1)

A graph of intelligence quotient (IQ), a measure of human intelligence, is an example of normal distribution, in which the most frequent scores are clustered near the center. The mean score is 100. The shaded region between 85 and 115 accounts for about 68 percent of the total area, hence 68 percent of all IQ scores. All normal distribution graphs have this bell-shaped curve.
