Answer:
At least 9 households have between 0 and 4 televisions.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Chebychev's theorem,
[tex]P(|X-\mu|\leq k\sigma)\geq 1-\frac{1}{k^{2}}[/tex]
Here k is a constant.
Given:
μ = 2
σ = 1
n = 12
Using the Chebychev's theorem determine the probability of households having between 0 and 4 televisions as follows:
[tex]P(0\leq X\leq 4)=P(0-2\leq (X-\mu) \leq 4-2 )\\=P(-2\leq (X-\mu) \leq 2)\\=P(|X-\mu|\leq (2\times 1))\\\geq 1-\frac{1}{2^{2}} =1-\frac{1}{4} =1-0.25=0.75[/tex]
This implies that at least 75% of the 12 households have between 0 and 4 televisions.
Compute 75% of n = 12 as follows:
[tex]75\%\ of\ 12=\frac{75}{100}\times12= 9[/tex]
Thus, at least 9 households have between 0 and 4 televisions.
