During a rock concert, the noise level (in decibels) in front row seats has a mean of 96 dB with a standard deviation of 7 dB. Without assuming a normal distribution, find the minimum percentage of noise level readings within 9 standard deviations of the mean.
Given: During a rock concert, the noise level (in decibels) in front row seats has a mean of 96 dB with a standard deviation of 7 dB.
To find: the minimum percentage of noise level readings within 9 standard deviations of the mean.
We have to calculate the above without assuming a normal distribution. So, we have to calculate this using Chebyshev's Theorem
Chebyshev's Theorem: proportion of data lying within "K" SD's of the mean is at least
So, the minimum percentage of noise level readings within 9 standard deviations of the mean is given by-
Therefor , the minimum percentage of noise level readings within 9 standard deviations of the mean is 98.76 ...............( ANSWER)
