The physical plant at the main campus of a large state university receives daily requests to replace fluorescent light bulbs. Th

e distribution of the number of daily requests is bell-shaped and has a mean of 38 and a standard deviation of 6. Using the empirical rule, what is the approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 38 and 56?

We have been given that the distribution of the number of daily requests is bell-shaped and has a mean of 38 and a standard deviation of 6. We are asked to find the approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 38 and 56.

First of all, we will find z-score corresponding to 38 and 56.

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

z=\frac{38-38}{6}=\frac{0}{6}=0

Now we will find z-score corresponding to 56.

z=\frac{56-38}{6}=\frac{18}{6}=3

We know that according to Empirical rule approximately 68% data lies with-in standard deviation of mean, approximately 95% data lies within 2 standard deviation of mean and approximately 99.7% data lies within 3 standard deviation of mean that is -3\sigma\text{ to }3\sigma.

We can see that data point 38 is at mean as it's z-score is 0 and z-score of 56 is 3. This means that 56 is 3 standard deviation above mean.

We know that mean is at center of normal distribution curve. So to find percentage of data points 3 SD above mean, we will divide 99.7% by 2.

\frac{99.7\%}{2}=49.85\%

Therefore, approximately 49.85\% of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 38 and 56.

Answer:hey must have the same denominator (the bottom value). If the denominators are already the same then it is just a matter of either adding or subtracting the numerators (the top value). If the denominators are different then a common denominator needs to be found.

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=-2/7x + 9 and that passes through the point (-4,6) [FP]​
siniylev [52]

Answer:

$y=(7/2)x+20$

Step-by-step explanation:

SInce the gradient of the first line is $-2/7$ then the gradien of the perpendicular line is $7/2$.

Therefore by the point slope formula the line that we are looking for is

$y-6=(7/2)(x+4)$

$y=(7/2)x + 20$

Find an equation for the line that passes through the points (-5,-3) and (1,-1)
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

y = 1/3x - 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is change in y over the change in x

-1 +3/ 1+5= 2/6= 1/3

y+1 = 1/3(x-1)

y + 1 = 1/3x - 1/3

y = 1/3x - 4/3
