a) Compute the mean and standard deviation of the set of sample data.
Round answers to 1 decimal place(s) for the first answer box.
Put correct units in the other answer box.
mean =
standard deviation =
b) Use Chebyshev's theorem to find an interval centered about the mean number of deaths in which you would expect at least 75% of the data to fall.
Do not use your rounded answers from above to compute these endpoints.
Round FINAL answers to 1 decimal place(s) for the interval.
An answer might come out negative....type in the value you compute.
Put correct units in the other answer box.

c. Use Chebyshev's theorem to find an interval centered about the mean number of deaths in which you would expect at least 88.9% of the data to fall.
Do not use your rounded answers from above to compute these endpoints.
Round FINAL answers to 1 decimal place(s) for the interval.
An answer might come out negative....type in the value you compute.
Put correct units in the other answer box.
