Question
(b) Compute a 75% Chebyshev interval around the sample mean.
Recall that Chebyshev's Theorem states that for any set of data and for any constant k greater than 1, the
proportion of the data that must lie within k standard deviations on either side of the mean is at least 1-
Therefore, for sample data with mean x and standard deviation s, at least 1-
of data must fall between
X- ks and x + ks.
When k- 2, we have the following.
22
1-
or
Therefore, for any set of data, at least 75% of the data must fall between x - 2s and x + ( Os,
or, in other words, within
standard deviations of the mean.
