Note from Professor:
Dear class,
1. Read example 13 on page 03-25 to review z score and SD.
2. Read example 14 on page 03-30 to under the SD of a normal distribution.
3. Find page 49 in the guided worksheets under the Course Materials to understand “Chebyschev’s Theorem.” : For any data set at least 75% of the data values are within 2 standard deviations of the mean and at least 89% are within 3 SD’s. Use this information to answer the first part of this DQ topic. (attached)
4.For the second part of DQ, use the graph on the top of the page 49 in guided worksheets to find the percentages.
