Consider the following sample of exam scores, arranged in increasing order:
Note: and
A) (i) Use Chebychev's rule to obtain a lower bound on the percentage of observations that lie within 2 standard deviations to either side of the mean.
(ii) Use the data to obtain the exact percentage of observations that lie within standard deviations to either side of the mean. Compare this answer with part (i) .
(i) Chebychev's rules says that of the data values will lie between and , or between and ;
(ii) 26 of the thirty observations (87\%) lie within the interval to . "At least " means or more, and is more than , so Chebychev's rule does apply to these data.
B) (i) Chebychev's rules says that of the data values will lie between and , or between and ;
(ii) 27 of the thirty observations ( ) lie within the interval to . "At least " means or more, and is more than , so Chebychev's rule does apply to these data.
C) (i) Chebychev's rules says that of the data values will lie between and , or between and ;
(ii) 28 of the thirty observations ( ) lie within the interval to . "At least means or more, and is more than , so Chebychev's rule does apply to these data.
D) (i) Chebychev's rules says that of the data values will lie between and , or between and ;
(ii) 28 of the thirty observations ( ) lie within the interval to . "At least " means or more, and is more than , so Chebychev's rule does apply to these data.
