    Assuming we have 100 g of sample

    30.45/MW of N 14g = 2.175

    69.55/MW of O 16g = 4.34

    4.34/2.185 = 2

    for every 1 mole of N we have 2 moles of O

    so the empirical formula would be NO2

    without having the molecular weight of the entire molecule the molecular formula can not be determined with the information in your question
