In this video, we explore Chebyshev's Rule, the "universal safety net" of statistics. Unlike other rules that only work for bell-shaped curves, Chebyshev's Rule allows you to describe any dataset, regardless of its shape. We walk through a problem to show how to calculate the number of standard deviations a range sits from the mean. You’ll learn the fundamental formula to find the minimum percentage of data that must fall within that interval. If you've ever wondered how to make predictions about "messy" or non-normal data, this rule is your go-to tool.
