The normal distribution is used to interpret children's scores on norm-referenced tests. For example, the mean Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is equal to 100 with a standard deviation of 15. An IQ of 115 is interpreted as one standard deviation above the mean. Approximately 68% of the area under the normal curve is ±1 standard deviation from the mean; approximately 95% of the area under the normal curve is ±2 standard deviations from the mean; and approximately 99.75% of the area under the normal curve is ±3 standard deviations from the mean. A z-score may also be used to standardize a score. A z-score is calculated by subtracting the obtained score on a test from the mean score and dividing by the standard deviation. For example a z-score of –1 represents a score that is one standard deviation below the mean, a z-score of –2 represents a score two standard deviations below the mean.
