    95% of people have an IQ score between 72 and 128.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

    68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

    95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

    99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

    In this problem, we have that:

    Mean = 100

    Standard deviation = 14.

    (a) What percentage of people has an IQ score between 72 and 128 ?

    72 = 100 - 2*14

    So 72 is two standard deviations below the mean.

    128 = 100 + 2*14

    So 128 is two standard deviations above the mean.

    By the Empirical Rule, 95% of people have an IQ score between 72 and 128.
