A survey of car rentals agencies shows that the average cost of a car rental is $0.35 per mile. The standard deviation is $0.05. Using Chebyshev's theorem, find the price range for which at least 93.75% of the data values will fall.

Based on an indication that mean daily car rental rates may be higher for Toronto than for Montreal, a survey of eight car rental companies in Toronto is taken, and the sample mean car rental rate is $50, with a standard deviation of $4. Further, suppose a survey of nine car rental companies in Montreal results in a sample mean of $42 and a standard deviation of $4. Use a = 0.05 to test to determine whether the average daily...
Assume the average age of an MBA student is 31.3 years old with a standard deviation of 2.3 years. a) Determine the coefficient of variation. b) Calculate the z-score for an MBA student who is 28 years old. c) Using the empirical rule, determine the range of ages that will include 99.7% of the students around the mean. d) Using Chebyshev's Theorem, determine the range of ages that will include at least 93% of the students around the mean. e)...
The results of a national survey showed that on average, adults sleep 6.3 hours per night. Suppose that the standard deviation is 1.4 hours. (a) Use Chebyshev's theorem to calculate the minimum percentage of individuals who sleep between 3.5 and 9.1 hours. (b) Use Chebyshev's theorem to calculate the minimum percentage of individuals who sleep between 2.8 and 9.8 hours. (c) Assume that the number of hours of sleep follows a bell-shaped distribution. Use the empirical rule to calculate the...
a sample of the labor costs per hour to assemble a product has a mean of $3.00 and a standard deviation of $0.25 Using Chebyshev's theorem find the range at least 88.89% of the costs will lie
Exercise 52: A consumer watchdog organization is concerned about credit card debt. A survey of 10 young adults with credit card debt of more than $2,000 showed they paid an average of just over $100 per month against their balances. Listed below is the amounts each young adult paid last month. 110 116 103 93 99 113 87 101 109 104 Determine the sample standard deviation. [answer is the same using STDEV or STDEV.S] Exercise 54: The mean of a...
A study of the nutritional value of a certain kind of bread shows that on the average one slice contains 0.260 milligram of thiamine (vitamin B1) with a standard deviation of 0.005 milligram. According to Chebyshev's theorem, between what values must the thiamine content be of (a) at least 35/36 of all slices of this bread; (0.230 and 0.290) (b) at least 80/81 of all slices of this bread? (0.215 and 0.305)
A travel website would like to estimate the difference between the average rental price of a car with automatic transmission versus the average rental price of a car with manual transmission at a certain airport. The table below shows the average one-week rental prices for two random samples, as well as the population standard deviations and sample sizes for each type of car. Complete parts a and b. Sample mean Sample size Population standard deviation Automatic $417.50 55 $24 Manual...
A recent survey of gasoline prices indicated that the national average was $4.098 per gallon. The Dallas Automobile Club claimed that gasoline in Texas was significantly lower than the national average. A survey covering 10 different suburbs in Dallas found the average price of gasoline to be $3.924 per gallon with a population standard deviation of $0.053. What critical value should be used to test the claim using a= 0.01? A recent survey indicated that the average amount spent for...
Chebyshev's Theorem and the Empirical Rule 1. For a distribution with mean 80 and standard deviation 10 A) What percentage of values will fall between 60 and 100? B) What percentage of values will fall between 50 and 110? 2. The average U.S. yearly per capita consumption of citrus fruit is 26.8 pounds. Suppose that the A) What percentage of Americans would you expect to consume more than 31 pounds of citrus d is bell-shaped with a standard deviation of...
