4. Dean Pelton wants to perform calculations to impress the accreditation consultants, but upon asking for information about GPAs at Greendale Community College, Chang only tells Pelton that the GPAs are distributed with a probability density function f(x) = D(2 + e −x ), 2 ≤ x ≤ 4 where D was some unknown "Duncan" constant. How many student records have to be retrieved so that the probability that the average GPA is less than 2.3 is less than 4 percent?

the minimum records to be retrieved by using Chebysher - one sided inequality is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that n should represent the number of the students

SO, can now be the sample mean of number of students  in GPA's

To obtain n such that

⇒

However ;

Similarly;

⇒

⇒

⇒

∴  

Now;

Using Chebysher one sided inequality ; we have:

So;

⇒

∴

To determine n; such that ;

⇒

Thus; we can conclude that; the minimum records to be retrieved by using Chebysher - one sided inequality is 17.
