A small computing center has found that the number of jobs submitted per day to its
computers has a distribution that is approximately mound-shaped and symmetric, with
a mean of 93 jobs and a standard deviation of 8.
On what percentage of days do the
number of jobs submitted exceed 101?
The value 101 falls one standard deviation above the mean in the distribution. Using the Empirical Rule, 68% of the
days will have between 85 and 101 jobs submitted. Of the remaining 32% of the days, half, or 32%/2 = 16%, of the
days will have more than 101 jobs submitted.
