The number of animals at a shelter from day to day has a mean of 37.6, with a standard deviation of 6.1 animals. The distribution of number of animals is not assumed to be symmetric. Between what two numbers of animals does Chebyshev's Theorem guarantees that we will find at least 89% of the days

Between 19.3 and 55.9 animals.

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 of 37.6, standard deviation of 6.1.

Between what two numbers of animals does Chebyshev's Theorem guarantees that we will find at least 89% of the days?

Within 3 standard deviations of the mean, so:

37.6 - 3*6.1 = 19.3

37.6 + 3*6.1 = 55.9

Between 19.3 and 55.9 animals.

you are saying it as if a fact, not a question, but yes, you would be correct? ; )
