8. a. k=2 From Chebyshevs Theorem, there are at least 75% of its flight between the two cities arrive anywhere between 2.6 minutes late and 8.2 minutes late. b. k=5

From Chebyshevs Theorem, there are at least 96% of its flight between the two cities arrive anywhere between 1.6 minutes early and 12.4 minutes late. By using Empirical rule, there are approximately 68% of heights of the women are between 61.1in and 66.1in. k=3 By using Empirical rule, there are approximately 99.7% of heights of the women are between 61.1in and 66.1in.

For Everlast, = 50 , = 2 . = 50 , = 6 . For Endurance,

Since both brands have same mean life and it is larger than the labeled life, so the brand with smaller standard deviation is the better choice, i.e. Everlast. This is because the smaller standard deviation means the data are closer to the mean. 11. 12.

VA= 5.22% VB= 6.73% Since Va< Vb the first student is relatively more consistent in doing these tests
Calories: mean = 380 median = 350 1st quartile = 260 3rd quartile = 510

Fat: mean = 15.8 median = 19 1st quartile = 8 3rd quartile = 22 Calories: variance = 12800 standard deviation = 113.1 range = 290 interquartile range = 250 CV = 29.77% None of the Z scores are less than -3 or greater than 3. There is no outlier in calories. Fat: variance = 52.82 standard deviation = 7.3 range = 18.5 Interquartile range = 14 CV = 46.04% None of the Z scores are less than -3 or greater than 3. There is no outlier in fat. Calories are slightly right-skewed while fat is slightly left-skewed. The mean calories is 380 while the middle ranked calorie is 350. The average scatter of calories around the mean is 113.14. 50% of the calories are scattered over 250 while the difference between the highest and the lowest calories is 290. The mean fat is 15.79 grams while the middle ranked fat is 19 grams. The average scatter of fat around the mean is 7.27 grams. 50% of the fat is scattered over 14 grams while the difference between the highest and the lowest fat is 18.5 grams.
