Answer: 47.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The distribution of the number of daily requests is bell-shaped and has a mean of \mu=40 and a standard deviation of 40\sigma=4.

To find : The approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 40 and 48.

We can see that 48=40+2(4) i.e. 48 is two standard deviations ( to the right) from the mean.               (1)

And 40 is the mean value (\mu) itself . It means the lower limit lies at the center of the normal curve (at z=0).

It means we need only right the region which is 2 standard deviations from the mean (at z=2).

According to the 68-95-99.7 rule, 95% of the population falls within two deviation from the mean in both left and right side of the normal curve.

Then, the required area will be : \dfrac{95\%}{2}=47.5\%

Hence,  the approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 40 and 48 = 47.5%

Answer:68.2

Step-by-step explanation:

cos6=71/EF

cos6= 0.960170286650366

0.960170286650366= 71/EF

0.960170286650366*71=EF

EF= 68.2
