of lifetimes of all Ultra batteries.
(a) According to Chebys hev’s theorem , at least ? of the lifetim es lie within 1.5 s tandard deviations of the m ean, 890 hours .
(b) Suppos e that the dis tribution is bell-s haped. If approxim ately 68% of the lifetim es lie between 795 hours and 985 hours , then the approxim ate value of the s tandard deviation for the dis tribution, according to the em pirical rule, is .
