The outcome A="At least one" means {1,2,3,4,5......n}   where n is the maximum possible outcome.

The only other outcome (B) left (i.e. the complement of the above event "at least one") is (B)={0}.

Therefore, by Kolmogorov's second axiom, A and B are complements, and
P(A)+P(B)=1
therefore
P(A)=1-P(B), or in words,
Probability of outcomes of "at least one" is the complement of the outcome of "0" item.

Which of the following groups has terms that can be used interchangeably with the others?1. Percentage, Probability, and Proport
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: 1) Percentage, Probability, Proportion

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics,

▪Proportion means a fraction of the total.

▪Percentage means a number or a ratio, expressed as a fraction of 100. Here, the total is 100.

▪Probability which may look slightly different from the other two means a number between 0 and 1, showing the exact likelihood of an event happening. Which in context can mean, a number showing a fraction of an event happening out of the whole (0 to 1).

▪Critical value means a point in hypothesis testing on the test distribution that is compared to the test statistic to determine whether to reject the null hypothesis.

In the four definitions, the odd one out is Critical Value.

So the option without critical value in it is option 1) Percentage, Probability, Proportion since we can use the three interchangeable.

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.
