According to chebyshev's theorem, at least what percent of the observations lie within plus and minus 1.75 standard deviations o
Alborosie
Chebyshev's theorem in statistics states that for many probability distributions, no more than 1/k² of measured values will be k standard deviations away from the mean.

Because the area under the probability distribution curve is equal to 1, Chebyshev's theorem means that the shaded area shown in the figure is equal to 1 - 1/k².

When k = 1.75, the shaded area is
1 - 1/1.75² = 0.7635 = 67.35%

Therefore the percent of the area within +/- 1.75 standard deviations from the mean is
67.35/2 = 33.7%, which is at least 33% of the observations.

Answer:
According to the Chebyshev theorem, at least 33% of the observations lie within +/- standard deviations from the mean.

A quantity with an initial value of 8600 grows exponentially at a rate of 20% every 2 minutes. What is the value of the quantity
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

23400 x 8/100 = 1872 = the loss  

1872 : 12 = 156= the loss each month  

156/1872*100% = 8.33 % then round it

Jessica wants to buy a new chair that has a regular price of $75.00 this week the chair will be on sale at a 12% discount how mu
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer: $9.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Regular price of a new chair = $75.00

This week the chair will be on sale at a 12% discount. So,

Rate of discount = 12%

We need to find the amount of money that will Jessica save if she buys the chair this week.

Discount=12\%\text{ of }\$75.00

Discount=75\times \dfrac{12}{100}

Discount=9

Therefore, Jessica will save $9 if she buys the chair this week.

If h:k = 2:5, x:y=3:4 and 2h+x:k+2y = 1:2, find the ratio h-x: k-y.​
fenix001 [56]

Given:

h:k=2:5,x:y=3:4,2h+x:k+2y=1:2

To find:

h-x:k-y

Solution:

We have, h:k=2:5 and x:y=3:4.

Let the values of h and k are 2a and 5a respectively.

Let the values of x and y are 3b and 4b respectively.

We have,

2h+x:k+2y=1:2

It can be written as

\dfrac{2h+x}{k+2y}=\dfrac{1}{2}

\dfrac{2(2a)+(3b)}{5a+2(4b)}=\dfrac{1}{2}

\dfrac{4a+3b}{5a+8b}=\dfrac{1}{2}

2(4a+3b)=1(5a+8b)

On further simplification, we get

8a+6b=5a+8b

8a-5a=8b-6b

3a=2b

a=\dfrac{2b}{3}

Now,

h-x:k-y=\dfrac{h-x}{k-y}

h-x:k-y=\dfrac{2-3b}{5a-4b}

h-x:k-y=\dfrac{2\times \dfrac{2b}{3}-3b}{5\times \dfrac{2b}{3}-4b}

h-x:k-y=\dfrac{\dfrac{4b}{3}-3b}{\dfrac{10b}{3}-4b}

On further simplification, we get

h-x:k-y=\dfrac{\dfrac{4b-9b}{3}}{\dfrac{10b-12b}{3}}

h-x:k-y=\dfrac{-5b}{-2b}

h-x:k-y=\dfrac{5}{2}

h-x:k-y=5:2

Therefore, the ratio h-x:k-y is 5:2.
