Question 888655: According to Chebyshev's theorem, what proportion of a distribution will be within k = 4 standard deviations of the mean? Show all work as to how to find this. Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! By Chebyshev's theorem, at most 1/4^2 = 1/16 of the population is greater than 4 standard deviations.
Therefore at least 15/16 of the population is within 4 standard deviations.
