The PIQ greater than VIQ discrepancy in violent and nonviolent delinquents
1Curry School of Education, University of Virginia.
Abstract:
This study found that approximately 35% of 149 juveniles convicted of serious crimes obtained a statistically significant PIQ greater than VIQ discrepancy of at least 12 IQ points. There were no significant differences in the incidence of the PIQ greater than VIQ discrepancy between juveniles convicted of violent or nonviolent crimes. The PIQ greater than VIQ discrepancy was found among both White and minority youth and among youth tested with either the WISC-R or the WAIS-R. IQ scores were correlated negatively with prior school problems, but not with measures of family dysfunction, prior criminal activity, or substance abuse. The PIQ greater than VIQ discrepancy appears to be an important indication of intellectual deficit in many delinquent youth.

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
