Final answer:

Since absolute values determine the distance between the number and the value whether the value is positive or negative. As distance is always positive.

Thus, |a| is always nonnegative, even though |a|=-a for negative values of a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

It is said that |a| is always nonnegative even though even though |a|=-a for negative values of a.

Step 2

This is because by the definition of an absolute value, any real number inside an absolute value symbol || will always be positive.

During a rock concert, the noise level (in decibels) in front row seats has a mean of 92 dB with a standard deviation of 9 dg_ W
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The minimum percentage of noise level readings within 8 standard deviations of the mean is 98.44%.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we do not know the shape of the distribution, we use the Chebyshev's Theorem to find the minimum percentage of a measure within k standard deviations of the mean.

This percentage is:

p = 1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}}

Within 8 standard deviations of the mean

This means that k = 8. So

p = 1 - \frac{1}{8^{2}} = 1 - \frac{1}{64} = \frac{64 - 1}{64} = \frac{63}{64} = 0.9844

The minimum percentage of noise level readings within 8 standard deviations of the mean is 98.44%.
