X~binom(10,0.45) Question 4. An inequality developed by Russian mathematician Chebyshev gives the minimum percentage of values in ANY sample that can be found within some number (k21) standard deviations from the mean. Let P be the percentage of values within k standard deviations of the mean value. Chebyshev's inequality states...

LSM 5 Part C. Suppose that you are walking on a straight line. You start at position X, -0, and only walk in the positive direction. Your positions afcer taking the ith step is denoted by X,. For each step, your step size, denoted by S, = X,-X,-ı , is a random variable uniformly distributed between 1 foot and 2 eet. Assume that sizes of different steps are mutually independent. 8.
