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

Round 128 to the nearest ten
SSSSS [86.1K]
130, is the answer.. so here's me having to come back and to explain,because this questions is SO hard.
They ask to round to the ten.
128
  ^This is ten, so we look to our right which is eight, is higher than 5. 5 is counted as higher. So 8 is over five and if we round 28, it's 30.
WOW, fascinating.
Thanks Brainly's "monitors" such help. -_-

To find the area of the rectangle, do A=lw which is 4x13=52. to find the area of the triangle, first find the height. this is 13-6=7. now do A=bh/2 which is (5x7)/2=17.5. 17.5+52=69.5 which is your answer. DONT OPEN ANY LINKS ON HERE, ITS A VIRUS

m= 3s/5 

s+m=56
s+(3s/5)=56
(5s+3s)/5=56
8s=56*5
8s=280
s=280/8
s=35

35 --->5/5
x  ---> 3/5

x= (3/5)*35 / (5/5)
x=21
