At a carnival, contestants are asked to keep rolling a pair of dice until they roll snake eyes. The number of rolls needed has a

mean of 36 rolls, with a standard deviation of 5.4 rolls. The distribution of the number of rolls needed is not assumed to be symmetric.
Between what two numbers of rolls does Chebyshev's Theorem guarantee that we will find at least 75% of the contestants?

Answer:

The two numbers of rolls are 25.2 and 46.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Chebyshev's theorem states that, if X is a r.v. with mean µ and standard deviation σ, then for any positive number k, we have  

P (|X -\mu| < k\sigma) \geq  (1-\frac{1}{k^{2}})

Here

(1-\frac{1}{k^{2}})=0.75\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{k^{2}}=0.25\\\\\Rightarrow k=\sqrt{\frac{1}{0.25}}\\\\\Rightarrow k=2

Then we know that,

|X - \mu| \geq k\sigma,\\\\  \Rightarrow \mu - k\sigma \leq X \leq \mu + k\sigma.

Here it is given that mean (µ) = 36 and standard deviation (σ) = 5.4.

Compute the two values between which at least 75% of the contestants lie as follows:

P(\mu - k\sigma \leq X \leq \mu + k\sigma)=0.75\\\\P(36 - 2\cdot\ 5.4 \leq X \leq 36 + 2\cdot\ 5.4)=0.75\\\\P(25.2\leq X\leq 46.8)=0.75

Thus, the two numbers of rolls are 25.2 and 46.8.

The number of square feet of the carpet is the area of the carpet

The number of square feet of outdoor carpet is 32 feet

<h3>How to determine the number of square feet</h3>

To do this, we simply divide the carpet to regular shapes.

The outdoor carpet can be divided to the following shapes from top to bottom

  • Rectangle of 4 ft by 2 ft
  • Rectangle of 6 ft by 2 ft
  • Rectangle of 6 ft by 2 ft

So, the area of the outdoor carpet is:

Area = 4 * 2 + 6 * 2 + 6 * 2

This gives

Area = 32

Hence, the number of square feet of outdoor carpet is 32 feet
