Question

Transcribed Image Text:The physical plant at the main campus of a large state university recieves daily requests to replace
florecent lightbulbs. The distribution of the number of daily requests is bell-shaped and has a mean
of 42 and a standard deviation of 10. Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, what is the approximate percentage
of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 42 and 72?
Do not enter the percent symbol.
