Suppose that prices of recently sold homes in one neighborhood have a mean of $270,000

Suppose that prices of recently sold homes in one neighborhood have a mean of $270,000 with a standard deviation of $8400. Using Chebyshev's Theorem, state the range in which at least 88.9% of the data will reside. Please do not round your answers.

The range in which at least 88.9% of the data will reside, ($244,800, $295,200).

Step-by-step explanation:

The Chebyshev's theorem states that, if X is a random variable with mean µ and standard deviation σ then for any positive number k, we have  

P \{|X -\mu| < k\sigma\} \geq  (1-\frac{1}{k^{2}})

Here (1-\frac{1}{k^{2}}) = 0.889.

Then the value of k is:

k = [\frac{1}{ 1-0.889}]^{1/2} = [\frac{1}{0.111}]^{1/2} = 3.0015\approx 3

Then we know that,

|X - µ| ≥ kσ

⇒ µ - kσ ≤ X ≤ µ + kσ.

Here it is given that mean (µ) = $270,000 and standard deviation (σ) = $8400.

Then, the price range is given by,

                     \mu - k\sigma \leq  X \leq \mu + k\sigma

270000-(3\times 8400)\leq X\leq 270000+(3\times 8400)

                     244800\leq X\leq 295200

Thus, the range in which at least 88.9% of the data will reside, ($244,800, $295,200).
