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 .
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.
