Suppose that IQ scores have a bell shaped distribution with a mean of 104 and a standard deviation of 14. Using the empirical rule what percentage of IQ scores are less than 76? Please do not round your answer.

So far this is what i have

76 -104= -28

-28
__ = -2
14

*How do I obtain the percentage?
*When I get to this point I get lost can someone help me out please and thank you

You use the "empirical rule"

"percentage less than 76" has been converted (by you, just now) into "percentage less than 2 standard deviations" ... you should have notes for the percentage within a certain number of standard deviations of the mean.
 

Thread 'Roulette wheel physics and probability'

Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...

Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'

The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
