1. A random sample of data has a mean of 65 and a variance of 25.a. Use Chebyshev’s theorem to determine the percentage of observations between55 and 75.b. If the data are mounded, use the empirical rule to find the approximate percentof observations between 55 and 75.
18. An insurance agent has claimed that the average age of policy-holders
who insure through him is less than the average for all agents, which is 30-5 years.
A random sample of 100 policy-holders who had insured through him gave the following
age distribution :
Age last birthday
