Chebyshev's inequality: For a wide class of distributions, no more than of the values can be outside of k standard deviations of the mean.
Here, n = 16 μ = 2 σ = 1 range iin question = 0 to 4 => k=2 meaning that at most 1/4 of the sample is outside the given range, or 3/4 of the sample= (3/4)*16 =12 is within the given range of 0 to 4 televisions.
Answer: at least 12 out of 16 households have between 0 to 4 televisions, according to the Chebyshev's inequality.
I think you would distribute what is in the parentheses and then make it so only a and b are on the left and i and the other characters that can be simplified are on the left but feel free to Google it.
