A mean score of driving exam for a group of drivers education students 72 points with a standard deviation of 5 points. Apply Chebychev's theorem to the data using K=2

Respuesta :

Answer:

At least the 75% of the scores of driving exams are between 62 and 82 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

The chebyshev theorem said that the proportion of any distribution that is less than k deviations of the mean is at least [tex]1-\frac{1}{k^2}[/tex].

So, if we replace k by 2, we can calculated the limits as:

[tex]x+2s=72+2(5)=82\\x-2s=72-2(5)=62[/tex]

Where x is the mean and s is the standard deviation.

Then,  [tex]1-\frac{1}{k^2}[/tex] is equal to:

[tex]1-\frac{1}{k^2}=1-\frac{1}{2^2}=0.75[/tex]

It means that at least the 75% of the scores of driving exams are between 62 and 82 points.
