Suppose that quiz scores in a beginning statistics class have a mean of 6.4 with a standard deviation of 0.7. Using Chebyshev's Theorem, state the range in which at least 88.9% of the data will reside. Please do not round your answers.

Given that mean of quiz scores = 6.4 and standard deviation = 0.7

And we need to use Chebyshev's theorem to find the range in which 88.9% of data will reside.

Chebyshev's theorem states that "Specifically, no more than [tex]\frac{1}{k^{2} }[/tex] of the distribution's values can be more than k standard deviations away from the mean".

That is [tex]1-\frac{1}{k^{2} }  = 0.889[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{k^{2} }  = 1-0.889 = 0.111[/tex]

[tex]k^{2}  = \frac{1}{0.111}[/tex]

k = 3

So, we want the range of values within 3 standard deviations of mean.

Hence range is [mean -3*standard deviation, mean +3*standard deviation]

                      = [6.4 - 3*0.7 , 6.4+3*0.7]

                      = [6.4 - 2.1 , 6.4+2.1] = [4.3,8.5]

Given that mean of quiz scores = 6.4 and standard deviation= 0.7

And we need to use Chebyshev's theorem to find the range in which 88.9% of data will reside.

Chebyshev's theorem states that "Specifically, no more than  of the distribution's values can be more than k standard deviations away from the mean".

That is 1-1/k2 = 0.889.

1/k2 = 1-0.889 = 0.111.

k2=0.111.

K= 3.

So, we want the range of values within 3 standard deviations of mean.

Hence range is mean -3 x standard deviation, mean +3x standard deviation

= [6.4 - 3x 0.7 , 6.4+3 x 0.7]

= [6.4 - 2.1 , 6.4+2.1] = [4.3,8.5]
