Question

Explain the following briefly:

Distribution of intelligence in the population

Answer 1

Intelligence in the population follows a normal distribution, also known as a bell-shaped curve, where most people have an average IQ of approximately 100. About 68% fall between 85 and 115, while very few score below 70 intellectually disabled or above 130 gifted. This shows that average intelligence is most common, with fewer people at the high and low extremes.
