Question

The distribution of the number of daily requests is bell-shaped and has a mean of 48 and a standard deviation of 7. Using the empirical rule (as presented in the book), what is the approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 48 and 55?

(Round percent number to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

55 is one sd from the mean, 48 is the mean. P (z<1) is .8413, p (z < 0) =.5. Ans. 34.13%
