How to use the Chebyshev's Theorem Calculator?

Our user-friendly interface is designed for simplicity. Let's break down the terminologies:

• k Value - The number of standard deviations away from the mean you're investigating.
• Calculate - Once you've keyed in your value calculator will automatically get your results.
• Result - Displaying the proportion of data within your specified standard deviations from the mean.

What is Chebyshev's Theorem?

Chebyshev's Theorem, a beacon in statistical analysis, states that irrespective of data distribution, the minimum percentage of data falling within k standard deviations from the mean is at least $1 - \dfrac{1}{k^2}$ So, even if you're uncertain about the data's distribution pattern, this theorem provides consistent insights.

Chebyshev's Theorem Formulas

Arming oneself with the formula can empower analytical endeavors. Here's a concise presentation:

For data outside k standard deviations:$P(| X - \mu | \geq k\sigma) \leq \dfrac{1}{k^2}$

For data within k standard deviations:$P(|X - \mu| < k\sigma) \geq 1 - \dfrac{1}{k^2}$

• P - The probability.
• X - Data points as random variables.
• μ - Mean of the dataset.
• σ - Standard deviation.
• k - Number of standard deviations from the mean.
