Question 664027: I. Use Chebyshev’s theorem to find what percent of the values will fall between 249 and 333 for a data set with a mean of 291 and standard deviation of 14.

II. Use the Empirical Rule to find what two values 99.7% of the data will fall between for a data set with a mean of 219 and standard deviation of 20

I. Use Chebyshev’s theorem to find what percent of the values will fall between 249 and 333 for a data set with a mean of 291 and standard deviation of 14.
--------
(249-291)/14 = -3
(333-291)/14 = +3
----------------------------
The percent is at least 1-(1/3)^2 = 8/9 = 0.89 = 89% of the data.
=======================================================================
II. Use the Empirical Rule to find what two values 99.7% of the data will fall between for a data set with a mean of 219 and standard deviation of 20
--------
Solve 1 - (1/k)^2 = 0.997
----
= (1/k)^2 = 0.003
----
k^2 = 1/0.003
---
k^2 = 333.33
-----------------------
k = 18 +
---
lower limit: 219-18*20 = -141
upper limit: 219+18*20 = 579
