Answer:

\mu = 14.5\\

\sigma = 5.071\\

k = 1.084

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a  statistician uses Chebyshev's Theorem to estimate that at least 15 % of a population lies between the values 9 and 20.

i.e. his findings with respect to probability are

P(9

Recall Chebyshev's inequality that

P(|X-\mu |\geq k\sigma )\leq {\frac {1}{k^{2}}}\\P(|X-\mu |\leq k\sigma )\geq 1-{\frac {1}{k^{2}}}\\

Comparing with the Ii equation which is appropriate here we find that

\mu =14.5

Next what we find is

k\sigma = 5.5\\1-\frac{1}{k^2} =0.15\\\frac{1}{k^2}=0.85\\k=1.084\\1.084 (\sigma) = 5.5\\\sigma = 5.071

Thus from the given information we find that

\mu = 14.5\\\sigma = 5.071\\k = 1.084

HELP ME: A camera usually sells for $68. Because it was slightly damaged, it sold for $59.90, what was the rate of the discount

$68 - 59.9 = $8.1
$8.1/$68 = 0.11911764705
0.11911764705 x100 = 11.911764705
11.911764705 is rounded up to 12

f(g(x)) is a composite function:

f(g(x))=f(\sqrt{x+5})=2\sqrt{x+5}-1

Plug in <em>x</em> = 4:

f(g(4)) = 2\sqrt{4+5}-1=2\sqrt9-1=2\cdot3-1=\boxed{5}

so the answer is C.
