Q3
Vibranium
In a particular time period, the price of 1 pound of Vibranium is $50 on average, with a standard deviation of $10.
(a) Using Chebyshev’s inequality, derive an upper bound on the probability that a pound of Vibranium costs at least $80.
(b) What would the mean of a pound of Vibranium need to be (fixing standard deviation at $10) in order to upper bound the probability in Part A by 1/11? Again, use Chebyshev’s inequality.
