you need to find mew and the SD
chebyshev's theorem
says that 88.9% of the data falls from mew - 3SD and mew + 3SD
so just do it on your calculator
plug the datas in
Stat
edit
then stat
1-var stats
and it gives you Xbar and mew
The average number of pages in a mystery book is 220 with a standard deviation of 20. Using Chebyshev's Theorem, what is the range of values in which at least 88.89% of the data will lie?
The choices are:
180-260
160-280
140-300
200-240
The correct answer is 160-280, but I am just no sure how to reach this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks
