elevision from a company are found to last on average for three years without any hardware error, with a standard deviation of two months. At least what percent of the television last between 31 months and 41 months? Note: i am trying to solve this question but by applying chebyshev`s inequality i am getting 84% as my answer and when i am calculating probability by using Z i am getting somewhat about 98%. please clear the doubt

Expert Solution
Step 1

Let, X= life of television 

Given that X follows a normal distribution with mean= 3 years= 36 months and standard deviation= 2 months

Then we find the z score of 31 and 41
