Question 269940: Chebychev's Rule states that at least 75.0% of the observations in any data set are contained within an interval bounded by two standard deviations to either side of the mean. Suppose you have data from an unknown distribution; i.e., you have no clue about the shape of the distribution. You are told that the data have a population mean μ = 6630 and a population standard deviation σ = 391.
Find the upper limit or bound of this interval based upon this 75.0 percentage.
