What is Chebyshev’s theorem? Suppose you have a friend who knows very little about statistics. Write a paragraph or two in which you describe Chebyshev’s theorem for your friend. Keep the discussion as simple as possible, but be sure to get the main ideas across to your friend. Suppose he or she asks, “What is this stuff good for?” and suppose you respond (a little sarcastically) that Chebyshev’s theorem applies to everything from butterflies to the orbits of the planets! Would you be correct? Explain.
