Answer

$16\%$ and $97.5\%$

Work Step by Step

Above 1129: $z=\frac{1129-1019}{110}=1$ empirical rule states $68\%$ within $1\sigma$ and $32\%$ outside, so the percentage above 1129 is half of outside or $16\%$ Above 799: let's calculate below 799 first, $z=\frac{799-1019}{110}=-2$ empirical rule states $95\%$ within $2\sigma$ and $5\%$ outside, so the percentage below 799 is half of outside or $2.5\%$, this mean the percentage above 799 is $1-2.5\%=97.5\%$
