AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the percentage of Ultra battery lifetimes that fall between 719 and 1059 hours using Chebyshev's Theorem and the empirical rule. Participants emphasize the necessity of knowing the mean and standard deviation of the battery lifetimes to apply these statistical methods effectively. Without these parameters, it is impossible to determine the required percentages accurately. The conversation highlights the importance of data input for proper statistical analysis. Accurate calculations depend on the provided mean and standard deviation values.

I know what the theorem states, but can't figure out how to input the data to make it work. Example

BIG Corporation produces just about everything but is currently interested in the lifetimes of its batteries, hoping to obtain its share of a market boosted by the popularity of portable CD and MP3 players. To investigate its new line of Ultra batteries, BIG randomly selects Ultra batteries and finds that they have a mean lifetime of hours, with a standard deviation of hours. Suppose that this mean and standard deviation apply to the population of all Ultra batteries. Complete the following statements about the distribution of lifetimes of all Ultra batteries.


According to Chebyshev's Theorem, at least 36% of the lifetimes lie between ___hrs & ___hrs

According to Chebyshev's Theorem, at least ?% of the lifetimes lie between 719hrs & 1059hrs

According to the empirical rule, Suppose the distribution is bell-shaped, approximately what % of the life-times lie between 719 hours & 1059 hrs?

Suppose the distribution is bell-shaped. According to the empirical rule, approximately 68% of the lifetimes lie between ___hours & ____hrs?

You need to know the parameters (\mu, \sigma) in terms of hours.
 
yes, to clarify, you need to provide us first with the given MEAN and the given STANDARD DEVIATION before we can even begin to answer this problem. If you are not given that I do not know if you can solve this problem.
 
I was reading documentation about the soundness and completeness of logic formal systems. Consider the following $$\vdash_S \phi$$ where ##S## is the proof-system making part the formal system and ##\phi## is a wff (well formed formula) of the formal language. Note the blank on left of the turnstile symbol ##\vdash_S##, as far as I can tell it actually represents the empty set. So what does it mean ? I guess it actually means ##\phi## is a theorem of the formal system, i.e. there is a...
