Answer:

The minimum percentage of noise level readings within 3 standard deviations from the mean = 88.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the type of distribution that this is, isn't known, we will use Chebyshev's formula to compute this percentage.

Chebyshev proposed that

P(|X - μ| ≥ kσ) ≥ [1 - (1/k²)]

This can be rewritten as

P(μ - kσ < X < μ + kσ) ≥ [1 - (1/k²)]

k must be greater than 1.

This is explained in words as, the probability of obtaining values from the data that lie within 'k-standard deviations' from the mean is at least [1 - (1/k²)]

So, for this question, to find the minimum percentage of noise level readings within 3 standard deviations of the Mean,

P(μ - kσ < X < μ + kσ) = [1 - (1/k²)]

(Equal to sign because we're looking for the minimum percentage.)

P(μ - 3σ < X < μ + 3σ) = [1 - (1/3²)]

[1 - (1/3²)] = 1 - (1/9) = (8/9) = 0.889 = 88.9%

Hope this Helps!!!

What expression is equivalent to 5 to the 6th power?PlZZZ HElP
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

5^6 = 125 * 125

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression can be represented as:.5⁶

Required

Find equivalent expression

5^6

Express 6 as 3 + 3

5^6 = 5^{3+3}

Apply the following law of indices

a^{m+n} = a^m * a^n

So, we have:

5^6 = 5^{3} * 5^{3}

Express 5^3 as 125

5^6 = 125 * 125

Hence, option (b) is equivalent
