Math Problem Statement
Assume the average selling price for houses in a certain county is $275 comma 000 with a standard deviation of $59 comma 000. a) Determine the coefficient of variation. b) Caculate the z-score for a house that sells for $312 comma 000. c) Using the Empirical Rule, determine the range of prices that includes 68% of the homes around the mean. d) Using Chebychev's Theorem, determine the range of prices that includes at least 87% of the homes around the mean. Question content area bottom Part 1 a) Determine the coefficient of variation. CVequals 21.5% (Round to one decimal place as needed.) Part 2 b) Calculate the z-score for a house that sells for $312 comma 000. zequals . 63 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Part 3 c) Using the Empirical Rule, determine the range of prices that includes 68% of the homes around the mean. upper bound x equals $ 334000 lower bound x equals $ 216000 (Round to the nearest dollar as needed.) Part 4 d) Using Chebychev's Theorem, determine the range of prices that includes at least 87% of the homes around the mean. upper bound x equals $ 438430 lower bound x equals $ 111570 (Round to the nearest dollar as needed.)

Formulas
Coefficient of Variation (CV) = (σ / μ) * 100%
Z-Score = (x - μ) / σ
Empirical Rule (68% range): [μ - σ, μ + σ]
Chebyshev's Theorem: Proportion of values within k standard deviations of the mean = 1 - 1/k^2
