The notion that the average IQ in a State would vary from a high of 113

On it's face, it's not credible.


A statewide IQ of 85 is not credible either: anything below
mid-nineties would be suspect.

As would one as high as 113. That is what I meant, but phrased it badly.

s/average IQ in a State/average IQ of the States/

That's better.
