a= μ-3.16*σ , b= μ+3.16*σ if each fish caught is equally likely to be any one of these 4 distinct types.

<h3>What is meant by Chebyshev inequality?</h3>

Chebyshev's inequality is a probability theory that ensures that, over a vast range of probability distributions, no more than a particular proportion of values would be present within a selected limits or range as from mean. In other words, only a certain fish caught will be discovered within a given range of the distribution's mean.

The formula for which no more than a particular number of values can exceed is 1/K2; in other words, 1/K2 of a distribution's values can be more than or equal to K standard deviations away from the distribution's mean. Furthermore, it asserts that 1-(1/K2) of a distribution's values must be within, but not include, K standard deviations of the distribution's mean.

How to solve?

from Chebyshev's inequality for Y

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) ≥ 1-1/k²

where

Y =  the number of fish that need be caught to obtain at least one of each type

μ = expected value of Y

σ = standard deviation of Y

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) = probability that Y is within k standard deviations from the mean

k= parameter

thus for

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) ≥ 1-1/k²

P{a≤Y≤b} ≥ 0.90 →  1-1/k² = 0.90 → k = 3.16

then

P(μ-k*σ≤ Y ≤ μ+k*σ ) ≥ 0.90

using one-sided Chebyshev inequality (Cantelli's inequality)

P(Y- μ≥ λ) ≥ 1- σ²/(σ²+λ²)

P{Y≥b} ≥ 0.90  →  1- σ²/(σ²+λ²)=  1- 1/(1+(λ/σ)²)=0.90 → 3= λ/σ → λ= 3*σ

then for

P(Y≥ μ+3*σ ) ≥ 0.90

Is 5, √50, 5 a right triangle
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Yeah,its right angled traingle.

Reason:Suppose Root over 50 as hypotenuse and other two sides as base and perpendicular respectively.

By using pythagoras theorem

h^2=p^2+b^2

50=50(which is true)

Therefore it is right angled triangle..This is your required answer.

Evan, Claire, Jaya and Tim are running a 3km relay race.
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Tim needs to finish 59/90

Step-by-step explanation:

Add together what Evan Claire and Jaya ran  

9/10 + 7/9+ 2/3

The common denominator is 90

9/10 (9/9) +7/9 *10/10  + 2/3 *30/30

81/90 + 70/90 + 60/90

211/90

We need 3 km = 3 *90/90 = 270 /90

270/90 - 211/90 = 59/90

True or false: Outliers can cause data sets to be skewed.
Natali [406]
True - since the outlier is way off it will cause your average to mess up which is why we test multiple times to make sure we are more accurate with our numbers

Find the arc length and area of a sector with radius R =60 inches and central angle equals 30° round your answer to the nearest
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

(a)31.42 inches

(b)942.48 Square Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a sector of a circle with the following dimensions:

Radius of the circle =60 inches

Central Angle of the sector =30°

(a)Arc Length

Arc Length =\dfrac{\theta}{360^\circ}X2\pi r

=\dfrac{30}{360^\circ}X2*60*\pi\\\\=10\pi\\\\=31.42$ Inches (correct to the nearest hundredth)

(b)Area of the sector

Area of the sector =\dfrac{\theta}{360^\circ}X\pi r^2

=\dfrac{30}{360^\circ}X\pi*60^2\\\\=300\pi\\\\=942.48$ Square Inches (correct to the nearest hundredth)
