Answer:

d. It is at most 25 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Chebyshev's inequality, for a given number of standard deviations, k, no more than 1/k² can be more than k standard deviations from the mean. In this situation the amount of standard deviations from the mean of the upper and lower bound of salaries are:

U=\frac{\$92,000-\$80,000}{\$6,000}=2\\L = \frac{\$80,000-\$68,000}{\$6,000}= 2

For k = 2, applying Chebyshev's inequality:

P( \$68,000 \leq X \leq \$92,000)= \frac{1}{2^2} = 0.25

Therefore, at most 25% of the salaries are less than $68,000 or more than $92,000.

Given a line segment that contains the points A,B, & C in order, if AB = x + 12, and BC = 2x - 4, and AC = 26, find x.
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If A, B and C lies on a straight line in order, then;

AB+BC = AC

x+12+2x-4 = 26

x+2x+12-4 =26

3x+8 = 26

3x = 26-8

3x = 18

x = 18/3

x = 6

Hence the value of x is 6
