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 44 and a standard deviation of 10. Using the empirical rule, what is the approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 44 and 74? Use 68-95-99.7 and do not enter the percent symbol.
