Answer:
49.85
Step-by-step explanation:
41 is the mean, so half of the daily requests are above that number, half below, the question is about numbers above the mean, so the lower numbers won't be included in the percentage.
The difference between 59 and 41 is 18. The standard deviation given is 6.
18 ÷ 6 = 3 So that is 3 standard deviations. The empirical rule states that 99.7 of all values are within 3 standard deviations from the mean. But we are looking at only the upper half of those values so 99.7 ÷ 2 = 49.85 %
If the answer asks for approximate, you could round to 49.9 or 50.
