Answer:

At least 18 of the households have between 2 and 6 televisions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chebyshev Theorem

The Chebyshev Theorem can also be applied to non-normal distribution. It states that:

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 100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}}).

In this question:

Mean = 4

Standard deviation = 1

Percentage of households that have between 2 and 6 televisions.

2 = 4 - 2*1

So 2 is two standard deviations below the mean

6 = 4 + 2*1

So 6 is two standard deviations above the mean

By Chebyshev's Theorem, at least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Out of 24

0.75*24 = 18

At least 18 of the households have between 2 and 6 televisions.

The square of a negative number is twenty-eight more than three times the negative number. Find the number.
MAXImum [283]
The number is x

it is negative
the square is 28 more than 3 times itself
x²=28+3x
minus (28+3x)
x²-3x-28=0
factor
(x-7)(x+4)=0
set to zero

x-7=0
x=7
this is not the answer because we were told the number was negative


x+4=0
x=-4
correct

the number is -4
test
(-4)²=28+3(-4)
16=28-12
16=16
check


the number is -4
