The physical plant at the main campus of a large state university recieves daily requests to replace florecent lightbulbs. The distribution of the number of daily requests is bell-shaped and has a mean of 55 and a standard deviation of 4. Using the empirical rule (as presented in the book), what is the approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 51 and 55

Respuesta :

Answer:

percentage of lightbulb replacement requests =  34.15 %

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Empirical Rule

interval                                                          %

μ  ±  σ            55  ±  4     ( 51 ; 59 )              68.3

As the question is a percentage between    55  and  51

or  between  51   and  μ  -  σ    by symmetry    is  68.3/2

% of lightbulb replacement requests =  34.15 %
