Solution Steps

Step 1: Probability that an individual has an IQ greater than 95

To find the probability that an individual has an IQ greater than 95, we calculate:

\[ P(\text{IQ} > 95) = \Phi(Z_{end}) - \Phi(Z_{start}) = \Phi(\infty) - \Phi(-0.3333) = 0.6306 \]

Converting this probability to percentage form:

\[ P(\text{IQ} > 95) = 0.6306 \times 100 = 63.1\% \]

Step 2: Probability that an individual has an IQ less than 125

Next, we calculate the probability that an individual has an IQ less than 125:

\[ P(\text{IQ} < 125) = \Phi(Z_{end}) - \Phi(Z_{start}) = \Phi(1.6667) - \Phi(-\infty) = 0.9522 \]

Converting this probability to percentage form:

\[ P(\text{IQ} < 125) = 0.9522 \times 100 = 95.2\% \]

Step 3: Number of people with an IQ less than 110 in a sample of 800

To find the number of people with an IQ less than 110 in a sample of 800, we calculate:

\[ P(\text{IQ} < 110) = \Phi(Z_{end}) - \Phi(Z_{start}) = \Phi(0.6667) - \Phi(-\infty) = 0.7475 \]

The expected number of people is:

\[ \text{Number of people} = P(\text{IQ} < 110) \times 800 = 0.7475 \times 800 = 598 \]

Final Answer

The results are as follows:

  • Probability that an individual has an IQ greater than 95: \( \boxed{63.1\%} \)
  • Probability that an individual has an IQ less than 125: \( \boxed{95.2\%} \)
  • Number of people with an IQ less than 110 in a sample of 800: \( \boxed{598} \)
