Lance · Answer 1

Let X be the iq score of adults. X is normally distributed with mean of 100 and standard deviation of 20.

If all iq scores are converted to z - scores then we will get z scores. And the z score is standard normal variable with mean=0 and standard deviation = 1

Hence the mean and standard deviation of of all z scores will be 0 and 1 respectively.
