a) Mean

Median

3 + 4= 6.708
Standard Deviation

= 3.869
b) Mean-Median
= 7.10-6.708
=0.392
The data is approximately normally distributed.

c) Z = (0-7.10/6.708)
= -1.06
Z = (15-7.10/6.708)
= 1.18
K=1
According to Chebyshevs Theorem, there is no first standard deviation. So, therell be no
percentage falls between 0 until 15 days.
d) According to the Empirical Rule
i) Between 0 and 15
7.10 1(6.708)
=0.392
= 13.808
68% from 620 will be between 0 and 15, which is 421.6.

The minimum percentage is 75%.

d) According to the Empirical Rule
i) Between 0.8 and 1.87
1.302 1(0.511)
=0.791
= 1.813
68% from 52 will between 0.8 and 1.87, which is 35.36.
ii) Between 0.3 and 2.3
1.302 2 (0.511)
=0.28
=2.324
95% from 52 will between 0.3 and 2.3, which is 49.4.
e) i) Z = (0.8-1.302/0.511)
= -0.982
Z = (1.87-1.302/0.511)
=1.11
Round it up to one decimal point is 1.
K= 1
There is no one standard deviation following the Chebyshev theorem. So, it is actually the
same as the answer in D, which is 35.36.
ii) Z = (0.3-1.302/0.511)

= -2
Z = (2.3-1.302/0.511)
=2
Round it up to one decimal point is 2.

75% from 52 is 39.
