Answer:
The minimum percentage of the commuters in the city has a commute time within 2 standard deviations of the mean is 75%.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have no information about the shape of the distribution, so we use Chebyshev's Theorem to solve this question.
Chebyshev Theorem
At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by .
Applying the Theorem
The minimum percentage of the commuters in the city has a commute time within 2 standard deviations of the mean is 75%.
Answer:
Okay, here's the method I'm going to use.
If you drive north 6 miles, and then drive east 19 miles, you are technically making a triangle.
19 miles

You are just missing the last side of the triangle: the straight line stretching from across your starting point to the ending point. You can find this by using the Pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 19^2 = c^2
36 + 361 = c
397 = c
= 19.924859
Rounded to the nearest tenth, your answer is
19.9 miles
