    New Here- Need some help with chebyshev's theorem



    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

    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
