Chapter 3: Q. 3.115 (page 122)

A quantitative data set has size 50. At least how many observations lie within three standard deviation to either side of the mean?

Short Answer

Expert verified

45 observations lie within three standard deviation to either side of the mean.

Step by step solution

01

Given information.

We have been given that,

data size= 50, K=3

We need to find the number of observation lie within three standard deviation of the mean.

02

Simplify.

Chebyshev's Rule: At least 1001-1K2%of the data values is written kstandard deviation from the mean k>1.

Now,

Using Chebyshev's Rule with k=3,we know that at least

1001-1K2%=1001-132%=10089%=89%

is within three standard deviation from the mean.

The number of observations within three standard deviation of the mean is the product of the percentage and sample size n,

89%脳50=.89脳50=45

Thus, at least 45observations lie within three standard deviation of the mean.

Prolonging Life. Vitamin C(ascorbate) boosts the human immune system and is effective in preventing a variety of illnesses. In a study by E. Cameron and L. Pauling titled "Supplemental Ascorbate in the Supportive Treatment of Cancer; Reevaluation of Prolongation of Survival Times in Terminal Human Cancer" (Proceedings of the National Acadeny of Seience, Vol. 75, No. 9, pp. 4538-4542), patients in advanced stages of cancer were given a vitamin Csupplement. Patients were grouped according to the organ affected by cancer: stomach, bronchus, colon, ovary, or breast. The study yielded the survival times, in days, given on the WeissStats site.

Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. According to the document Dietary Guidelines for Americans published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, for adults, a BMI of greater than 25indicates an above healthy weight (i.e., overweight or obese). The BMIs of 75randomly selected U.S. adults have a mean of 26.0and a standard deviation of 5.0
