Chebyshev's Theorem is a probabilistic rule that applies to all samples, regardless of the population distribution. It provides us with information about the proportion of observations that fall within a certain number of standard deviations from the mean. Unlike the Empirical Rule, Chebyshev's Theorem does not require the assumption of a normal distribution.
