Now, I'm really wondering...do you mean a third of your sampling will
have average IQs, a third will have below-average IQs and so forth?
Or do you mean this is a rule of thumb for the CP population as a
whole? What exactly is your hypothesis?
When I was in grad school, the sampling had to be truly random, with
a control group to test it against. Perhaps things have changed a
great deal in the social sciences since I was a MS candidate?
