17. A certain manufacturing procedure produces items that have a mean weight of 55 pounds and a standard deviation of 3.2 pounds. With what minimum probability can we assert that the weight of a randomly selected item produced by this procedure is between 45.4 pounds and 64.6 pounds? Hint, use Chebyshev.

Suppose that among salmon fish that are longer than 80cm, their weights have a mean of 6.4kg and a standard deviation of 0.5kg. The wholesale price per kg for these salmon fish is $9.46.
