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%

One number is 7 more than another. The difference between their squares is 161. What are the numbers?
sergeinik [125]
X is 7 more than y
x>y then
difference betwen squares is 161 so


x=7+y
and
x²-y²=161

so
x=7+y
sub that for x in other equation

(7+y)²-y²=161
y²+14y+49-y²=161
14y+49=161
minus 49 both sides
14y=112
divide both sides by 14
y=8

sub back

x=7+y
x=7+8
x=15

the numbers are 15 and 8
