The answer to the math probability question you are presenting above would be. 475 or (47.5%). The value of 3 years multiplied by 1000 would equal to 3000, thus the person will listen to music 3000 hours a year - which is two standard deviations than the mean. Following the empirical rule, the answer would be. 475.
