The maintenance department at the main campus of a large state university receives daily requests to replace fluorecent lightbul

bs. The distribution of the number of daily requests is bell-shaped and has a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 4. Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, what is the approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 40 and 48?

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%

PLEASE HELP For what value of the variable will the value of 2x+1 be 20 greater than 8x+5?
wlad13 [49]

It will be a negative.

for an example: -20 for x would mqke 2x + 1 into -39 and 8x + 5 into -155. that's 116 apart, so maybe -2(8) + 5 = -11

-2(2) + 1 = -3

but that's only 8 apart, so it'd be higher.

-4(2) + 1 = -7

-4(8) + 5 = -27

BOOM

Tadaaaa,

You probably thought positive, but sometimes it's negative, you know what I mean?
