QUESTION:

A personnel manager for a certain industry has records of the number of employees absent

per day. The average number absent is 5.5, and the standard deviation is 2.5. Because there

are many days with zero, one, or two absent and only a few with more than ten absent, the

frequency distribution is highly skewed. The manager wants to publish an interval in which at

least 75% of these values lie. Use the result in Exercise 1.32 to find such an interval.
