Answer:
At most 25% of homes will have a monthly utility bill of less than $105.
Step-by-step explanation:
Chebyshev Theorem
The Chebyshev Theorem can also be applied to non-normal distribution. It states that:
At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by [tex]100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}})[/tex].
In this question, we have that:
The mean is $123.
The standard deviation is $9.
What percentage of homes will have a monthly utility bill of less than $105
105 = 123 - 2*9
So 105 is two standard deviations below the mean.
We have that, by the Chebyshev Theorem, at least 75% of the measures will be within 2 standard deviations from the mean, so at most 25% of the measures will be more than two standard deviations of the mean(greater than 141 ou lesser than 105).
So at most 25% of homes will have a monthly utility bill of less than $105
