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.

Old McDonald has some chickens and some cows. He counted 56 heads and 116 legs. How many chickens and how many cows does old McD
Elza [17]

Answer: old McDonald has 54 chickens and 2 cows.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of chickens that old McDonald have.

Let y represent the number of cows that old McDonald have.

He counted 56 heads. A chicken and a cow has one head each. It means that

x + y = 56

He counted 116 legs. A chicken has 2 legs and a cow has 4 legs. It means that

2x + 4y = 116 - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 56 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(56 - y) + 4y = 116

112 - 2y + 4y = 116

- 2y + 4y = 116 - 112

2y = 4

y = 4/2 = 2

x = 56 - y = 56 - 2

x = 54

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Card numbered from: 500 - 799

The required number of values must meet both conditions 1 and 2

Condition 1 : first of the 3 digits is odd :

500 - 599 = 100

700 - 799 = 100

(100 + 100) = 200 cards

Condition 2: three digits is divisible by 6

{500 - 599} and {700 - 799}

The numbers divisible by 6 are 33
