Question 1089291: Chebyshev's Theorem states that for any set of numbers, the fraction that will lie within k standard deviations of the mean is at least 1 - 1/k^2. Use this theorem to find the fraction of all the numbers of a data set that must lie within 5 standard deviations from the mean. Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Replace k with 5. Then at least 24/25 of the data points will lie within 5 standard deviations from the mean.
