Work Step by Step

Chebyshev’s theorem The proportion of values from a data set that will fall within k standard deviations of the mean will be at least $1−1/k^2$, where k is a number greater than 1 (k is not necessarily an integer). 34. Calories The average number of calories in a regular size bagel is 240. If the standard deviation is 38 calories, find the range in which at least 75% of the data will lie. Let $1-1/k^2=0.75$ we have $k=2, 2\times38=76$ The range would be $240-76$ to $240+76$ or $164-316$
