The Empirical Rule predicts about 68% of the income data should lie between $36,875.30 and $73,618.10.
Answer 1:
The Chebyshev's Rule predicts at least ?

To apply **Chebyshev's Rule**, we first need to understand how it works. Chebyshev's Rule can be applied to any dataset, regardless of its distribution. It states that for any dataset, at least:

- $ \frac{1}{k^2} $ proportion of the data lies within $ k $ standard deviations from the mean, where $ k > 1 $.

In the question, we are not directly given the range in terms of standard deviations, but using the **Empirical Rule**, we can infer some information. The Empirical Rule indicates that about 68% of the data falls within **one standard deviation** of the mean for normal distributions. This suggests that:

- Mean = 55.2467
- The lower bound (68%): $36,875.30$ 
- The upper bound (68%): $73,618.10$

Thus, using these figures, we calculate the distance from the mean to the lower and upper bounds. We then check how many standard deviations correspond to that range.

1. The distance from the mean to the lower bound:
   \[
   55.2467 - 36,875.30 = 18,371.45
   \]
2. The distance from the mean to the upper bound:
   \[
   73,618.10 - 55.2467 = 18,371.45
   \]

Thus, the range $36,875.30$ to $73,618.10$ is symmetrical around the mean, with a range of $ \pm 18,371.45 $.

Now, using Chebyshev's inequality, we calculate the proportion of data that lies within $ k $ standard deviations from the mean. However, since Chebyshev's Rule applies to all distributions, and we have no exact distribution, we can't specify what fraction of data will lie exactly between one standard deviation, but we can state that **at least** $ \frac{1}{k^2} $ proportion lies within $ k $ standard deviations for $ k > 1 $.

Would you like to go deeper into this problem or clarify some of these points?

Here are 5 related questions:
1. How is Chebyshev's Rule different from the Empirical Rule?
2. How would you calculate Chebyshev’s inequality for 2 or 3 standard deviations?
3. Why does the Empirical Rule only apply to normal distributions?
4. How would this analysis change if the data were heavily skewed?
5. What is the impact of a larger sample size on the application of Chebyshev's Rule?

**Tip**: Chebyshev's Rule is particularly useful for non-normal distributions because it gives a conservative estimate of how much data falls within a certain number of standard deviations.

Explore how the Empirical Rule predicts income distribution, placing 68% of the data between $36,875.30 and $73,618.10, and how Chebyshev's Rule provides a minimum bound for the spread of data, even in non-normal distributions.
