Dec 5 B4 BW Chebyshev's Theorem

Front

What is Chebyshev's Theorem?

Back

A statistical theorem that states that for any dataset, at least (1 - 1/k^2) of the data values will fall within k standard deviations from the mean, for k > 1.

What does the 'k' in Chebyshev's Theorem represent?

Back

The number of standard deviations from the mean.

Front

If the mean is 30 and the standard deviation is 6, what is the range for at least 75% of the data according to Chebyshev's Theorem?

Back

18 - 42 years.

How do you calculate the minimum percentage of data within a certain range using Chebyshev's Theorem?

Back

Use the formula: Minimum percentage = (1 - 1/k^2) * 100%, where k is the number of standard deviations from the mean.
