For any set of n measurements, the fraction included in the interval y − ks to y + ks is at least 1 − 1 k2 . This result is know

n as Tchebysheff's theorem. A personnel manager for a certain industry has records of the number of employees absent per day. The average number absent is 8.5, and the standard deviation is 3.5. Because there are many days with zero, one, or two absent and only a few with more than ten absent, the frequency distribution is highly skewed. The manager wants to publish an interval in which at least 75% of these values lie. Use Tchebysheff's theorem to find such an interval.

Answer:

This interval is between 1.5 and 15.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tchebysheff's Theorem

The Tchebysheff's 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, we have that:

Mean = 8.5

Standard deviation = 3.5

The manager wants to publish an interval in which at least 75% of these values lie.

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

8.5 - 2*3.5 = 1.5

8.5 + 2*3.5 = 15.5

This interval is between 1.5 and 15.5.

How to find out the volume of a prism
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The formula for the volume of a prism is V=Bh , where B is the base area and h is the height. The base of the prism is a rectangle. The length of the rectangle is 9 cm and the width is 7 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)Write down the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism. The formula is simply V = length * width * height.

2)Find the length.

3)Find the width.

4)Find the height.

5)Multiply the length, the width, and the height.

6)State your answer in cubic units.

I used a graphing calculator for this.

The solution my calculator got was:

(-2.625, 0.688) My calculator is very accurate, I don't think the test expects it to be like that.

Let's find the closest coordinates.

"B" is the closest.

I hope this helps!
