Message-ID: <217@iham1.UUCP> Date: Wed, 19-Sep-84 12:09:51 EDT Article-I.D.: iham1.217 Posted: Wed Sep 19 12:09:51 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 25-Sep-84 09:16:18 EDT Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 10 I know what an Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is, but I don't know the distribution of IQs through the general population (besides, of course, one per person :-)). I assume the mean IQ is 100, but what is the standard deviation? Do IQs even follow a normal distribution? (You'll pardon me if my statistics's terms are used improperly, but I've not studied statistics in more than 10 years.) I'd appreciate it if someone out there could anwer my question or point me to a reference that would have the answer. I don't expect this to be of general interest, so mail replies to me. Thanks.
