statistician reported that the mean serve speed of a particular player was 99 miles per hour (mph) and the standard deviation of the serve speeds was 15 mph.
If nothing is known about the shape of the distribution, give an interval that will contain the speeds of at least eight-ninths of the player's serves.

a) 54 mph to 144 mph
b) 39 mph to 159 mph

Answer:

a) 54 mph to 144 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know the shape of the distribution, so we use Chebyshev's Theorem to solve this question. It states that:

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

At least eight-ninths of the player's serves.

8/9 is approximately 89%

So

Mean: 99, standard deviation: 15

99 - 3*15 = 54

99 + 3*15 = 144

So the correct answer is:

a) 54 mph to 144 mph

Find the minimum and maximum possible areas of a rectangle measuring 6 km by 11 km.
ExtremeBDS [4]
Assuming your numbers are rounded to the nearest km, the minimum area will be ...
  (5.5 km)·(10.5 km) = 57.75 km² . . . minimum

And the maximum area will be ...
  (6.5 km)·(11.5 km) = 74.75 km² . . . maximum

_____
When a number is rounded to 6 km as the nearest km, its value may actually be anywhere in the range 6 km ± 0.5 km. If you really want to get technical about it, the ranges of possible dimensions are [5.5, 6.5) km and [10.5, 11.5) km, and the range of possible areas is [57.75, 74.75) km².
