金声玉亮2.0 To find the upper bound of the probability that the number of heads will be greater than 35 or less than 15 using Chebyshev's Inequality, we need to first find the mean and variance of the number of heads in 50 tosses of a fair coin.

The mean (μ) of the number of heads in 50 tosses of a fair coin is given by:
μ = n * p
where n is the number of trials (50) and p is the probability of success (0.5 for a fair coin).
So, μ = 50 * 0.5 = 25.

The variance (σ²) of the number of heads in 50 tosses of a fair coin is given by:
σ² = n * p * (1 - p)
So, σ² = 50 * 0.5 * (1 - 0.5) = 12.5.

Now, we can use Chebyshev's Inequality to find the upper bound of the probability that the number of heads will be greater than 35 or less than 15. Chebyshev's Inequality states that for any random variable X with mean μ and variance σ², and for any positive constant k, the probability that X is more than k standard deviations away from its mean is less than or equal to 1/k². In other words:
P(|X - μ| ≥ kσ) ≤ 1/k².

In this case, we want to find the upper bound of the probability that the number of heads is more than 10 away from its mean (i.e., less than 15 or greater than 35). So, we can set k = 10/σ, where σ is the standard deviation of the number of heads. Since σ² = 12.5, σ = √12.5 ≈ 3.54.

Substituting the values into Chebyshev's Inequality, we get:
P(|X - 25| ≥ 10) ≤ 1/(10/3.54)² ≈ 0.125.

Therefore, the upper bound of the probability that the number of heads will be greater than 35 or less than 15 is approximately 0.125 or 12.5%.

To find the upper bound on the probability that the number of heads in 50 fair coin tosses is greater than 35 or less than 15 using Chebyshev's Inequality, we start by noting that the number of heads \(X\) follows a binomial distribution with parameters \(n = 50\) and \(p = 0.5\).

The mean \(\mu\) and variance \(\sigma^2\) of \(X\) are calculated as follows:
\[
\mu = 50 \times 0.5 = 25
\]
\[
\sigma^2 = 50 \times 0.5 \times 0.5 = 12.5
\]
\[
\sigma = \sqrt{12.5} \approx 3.5355
\]

We need to find the probability that \(X > 35\) or \(X < 15\). This translates to the event \(|X - 25| \geq 10\) (since 35 is 10 more than the mean and 15 is 10 less than the mean).

Using Chebyshev's Inequality, which states \(P(|X - \mu| \geq k\sigma) \leq \frac{1}{k^2}\), we determine \(k\) by expressing the deviation in terms of standard deviations:
\[
k = \frac{10}{\sigma} = \frac{10}{3.5355} \approx 2.828
\]

Squaring \(k\) gives:
\[
k^2 \approx (2.828)^2 \approx 8
\]

Thus, the upper bound on the probability is:
\[
P(|X - 25| \geq 10) \leq \frac{1}{8}
\]

Although the event \(X > 35\) or \(X < 15\) corresponds to a minimal deviation of 11 from the mean, using \(a = 10\) (which includes more outcomes) still provides a valid upper bound. The bound using \(a = 10\) is simpler and more commonly expected in such problems.

Therefore, the upper bound of the probability is \boxed{\dfrac{1}{8}}.

gpto1 To solve this problem using Chebyshev's Inequality, we'll first define the random variable and calculate its mean and standard deviation.

**Step 1: Define the Random Variable**

Let \( X \) be the number of heads in 50 tosses of a fair coin. Since each toss is independent and the coin is fair, \( X \) follows a binomial distribution:
\[
X \sim \text{Binomial}(n = 50, p = 0.5)
\]

**Step 2: Calculate the Mean and Variance**

The expected value (mean) \( \mu \) and variance \( \sigma^2 \) of \( X \) are:
\[
\mu = E[X] = np = 50 \times 0.5 = 25 \\
\sigma^2 = \text{Var}(X) = np(1 - p) = 50 \times 0.5 \times 0.5 = 12.5
\]
The standard deviation \( \sigma \) is:
\[
\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2} = \sqrt{12.5} = \sqrt{\frac{25}{2}} = \frac{5}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}
\]

**Step 3: Determine the Deviation from the Mean**

We are interested in the probability that \( X \) is greater than 35 or less than 15, which is a deviation of 10 from the mean since:
\[
35 - \mu = 35 - 25 = 10 \\
\mu - 15 = 25 - 15 = 10
\]
So, we're looking at \( |X - \mu| \geq 10 \).

**Step 4: Compute \( k \) in Terms of Standard Deviations**

Chebyshev's Inequality involves \( k \) standard deviations from the mean:
\[
k = \frac{\text{Deviation from the mean}}{\sigma} = \frac{10}{\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}} = \frac{10 \times 2}{5\sqrt{2}} = \frac{20}{5\sqrt{2}} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{2}} = 2\sqrt{2}
\]
(We rationalize the denominator in \(\frac{4}{\sqrt{2}}\) by multiplying numerator and denominator by \(\sqrt{2}\)).

**Step 5: Apply Chebyshev's Inequality**

Chebyshev's Inequality states that for any \( k > 0 \):
\[
P(|X - \mu| \geq k\sigma) \leq \frac{1}{k^2}
\]
Substitute \( k = 2\sqrt{2} \):
\[
P(|X - 25| \geq 10) \leq \frac{1}{(2\sqrt{2})^2} = \frac{1}{8}
\]

**Answer:**

An explicit calculation shows the upper bound is **⅛**, so the probability is at most **0.125**.

GPT-4o To find the upper bound on the probability that the number of heads in 50 tosses of a fair coin is greater than 35 or less than 15, we can use Chebyshev's Inequality.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Define the Random Variable:**
- Let \( X \) be the random variable representing the number of heads in 50 tosses of a fair coin.
- Since the coin is fair, \( X \) follows a binomial distribution \( \text{Binomial}(n=50, p=0.5) \).

2. **Calculate the Mean and Variance:**
- The mean \( \mu \) of a binomial distribution \( \text{Binomial}(n, p) \) is given by \( \mu = np \).
\[
\mu = 50 \times 0.5 = 25
\]
- The variance \( \sigma^2 \) of a binomial distribution \( \text{Binomial}(n, p) \) is given by \( \sigma^2 = np(1-p) \).
\[
\sigma^2 = 50 \times 0.5 \times 0.5 = 12.5
\]
- The standard deviation \( \sigma \) is the square root of the variance:
\[
\sigma = \sqrt{12.5} \approx 3.54
\]

3. **Identify the Range of Interest:**
- We are interested in the probability that \( X \) is greater than 35 or less than 15:
\[
P(X > 35 \text{ or } X < 15)
\]

4. **Calculate the Deviation from the Mean:**
- The mean \( \mu = 25 \).
- We need to find the deviation \( k \sigma \) where \( k \) is the number of standard deviations from the mean.

For \( X > 35 \):
\[
35 - 25 = 10 \implies k = \frac{10}{\sigma} = \frac{10}{3.54} \approx 2.82
\]

For \( X < 15 \):
\[
25 - 15 = 10 \implies k = \frac{10}{\sigma} = \frac{10}{3.54} \approx 2.82
\]

5. **Apply Chebyshev's Inequality:**
- Chebyshev's Inequality states that for any random variable \( X \) with mean \( \mu \) and standard deviation \( \sigma \):
\[
P(|X - \mu| \geq k\sigma) \leq \frac{1}{k^2}
\]

In our case, \( k \approx 2.82 \). Therefore:
\[
P(|X - 25| \geq 10) \leq \frac{1}{(2.82)^2}
\]

6. **Calculate the Upper Bound:**
- Compute the value:
\[
\frac{1}{(2.82)^2} \approx \frac{1}{7.95} \approx 0.126
\]

### Conclusion:

The upper bound on the probability that the number of heads in 50 tosses of a fair coin is greater than 35 or less than 15, using Chebyshev's Inequality, is approximately \( 0.126 \).

A classic problem in probability theory!

Let's break it down step by step:

**Problem statement:** A fair coin is tossed 50 times. We want to find the upper bound on the probability that the number of heads will be greater than 35 or less than 15 using Chebyshev's Inequality.

**Chebyshev's Inequality:** For a random variable X with mean μ and variance σ², the probability that X deviates from μ by more than k standard deviations is bounded by:

P(|X - μ| ≥ kσ) ≤ 1/k²

**Step 1: Define the random variable X**
Let X be the number of heads in 50 coin tosses.

**Step 2: Calculate the mean (μ) and variance (σ²) of X**
Since the coin is fair, the probability of getting a head in a single toss is 1/2. The expected number of heads in 50 tosses is:

μ = 50 × 1/2 = 25

The variance of X is:

σ² = 50 × (1/2) × (1/2) = 12.5

**Step 3: Define the deviation (kσ)**
We want to find the probability that X deviates from μ by more than 10 (i.e., X > 35 or X < 15). So, we set:

kσ = 10

**Step 4: Calculate k**
Now, we can calculate k:

k = 10 / √12.5 ≈ 2.83

**Step 5: Apply Chebyshev's Inequality**
Finally, we can apply Chebyshev's Inequality to get the upper bound on the probability:

P(|X - 25| ≥ 10) ≤ 1/(2.83)² ≈ 0.124

Therefore, the upper bound on the probability that the number of heads will be greater than 35 or less than 15 is approximately 0.124 or 12.4%.

To find the upper bound of the probability that the number of heads will be greater than 35 or less than 15 when a fair coin is tossed 50 times using Chebyshev's Inequality, we follow these steps:

1. **Understand Chebyshev's Inequality**: Chebyshev's Inequality states that for any random variable X with mean μ and variance σ^2, the probability that X is more than k standard deviations away from μ is less than or equal to 1/k^2. Mathematically, this is represented as P(|X - μ| ≥ kσ) ≤ 1/k^2.

2. **Define the Random Variable and Parameters**: Let X be the number of heads obtained in 50 tosses. Since the coin is fair, the probability of getting a head in one toss is 0.5. Therefore, the mean (μ) of X, which is the expected number of heads in 50 tosses, is 50 * 0.5 = 25. The variance (σ^2) of X is given by n*p*(1-p), where n is the number of trials (50 in this case), p is the probability of success (0.5 for heads), and (1-p) is the probability of failure (also 0.5 for tails). So, σ^2 = 50 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 12.5.

3. **Calculate the Standard Deviation**: The standard deviation (σ) is the square root of the variance. Therefore, σ = √12.5.

4. **Determine k**: We are interested in the probability of X being greater than 35 or less than 15. To apply Chebyshev's Inequality, we need to find how many standard deviations away from the mean these values are. Since the mean is 25, and we are looking at values 10 away from the mean in either direction, we calculate k as the absolute difference between the value of interest and the mean, divided by the standard deviation. So, k = |35 - 25| / σ = 10 / √12.5.

5. **Apply Chebyshev's Inequality**: Now, we can apply Chebyshev's Inequality to find the upper bound of the probability. The inequality tells us P(|X - μ| ≥ kσ) ≤ 1/k^2. Substituting k = 10 / √12.5 into the formula gives us the upper bound of the probability.

6. **Calculate the Upper Bound**: Plugging in the value of k into 1/k^2 gives us 1 / (10 / √12.5)^2 = 1 / (100 / 12.5) = 12.5 / 100 = 0.125.

Therefore, the upper bound of the probability that the number of heads will be greater than 35 or less than 15 when a fair coin is tossed 50 times is 0.125 or 12.5%.

DeepSeek-Coder-V2 To solve the problem using Chebyshev's Inequality, we need to follow these steps:

1. **Determine the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) of the number of heads in 50 tosses of a fair coin:**
- The mean (μ) is the expected number of heads, which is \( \mu = \frac{50}{2} = 25 \).
- The variance (σ²) is the expected value of the squared deviation from the mean. For a binomial distribution, \( \sigma^2 = np(1-p) \), where \( n = 50 \) and \( p = 0.5 \). Thus, \( \sigma^2 = 50 \times 0.5 \times 0.5 = 12.5 \).
- The standard deviation (σ) is the square root of the variance, \( \sigma = \sqrt{12.5} \approx 3.54 \).

2. **Apply Chebyshev's Inequality:**
- Chebyshev's Inequality states that for any random variable X with mean μ and standard deviation σ, the probability that X is at least k standard deviations away from the mean is at most \( \frac{1}{k^2} \).
- We need to find the probability that the number of heads is greater than 35 or less than 15.
- For heads greater than 35: \( k = \frac{35 - 25}{3.54} \approx 2.82 \).
- For heads less than 15: \( k = \frac{25 - 15}{3.54} \approx 2.82 \).

3. **Calculate the upper bound using Chebyshev's Inequality:**
- The probability that the number of heads is more than 2.82 standard deviations away from the mean in either direction is at most \( \frac{1}{2.82^2} \).
- \( \frac{1}{2.82^2} \approx \frac{1}{7.95} \approx 0.1257 \).

Therefore, the upper bound of the probability that the number of heads will be greater than 35 or less than 15 is approximately \( 0.1257 \).

Qwen2-72B-Instruct To find the upper bound of the probability that the number of heads will be greater than 35 or less than 15 using Chebyshev's Inequality, we need to first find the mean and variance of the number of heads in 50 tosses of a fair coin.

The mean (μ) of the number of heads in 50 tosses of a fair coin is given by:
μ = n * p
where n is the number of trials (50) and p is the probability of success (0.5 for a fair coin).
So, μ = 50 * 0.5 = 25.

The variance (σ²) of the number of heads in 50 tosses of a fair coin is given by:
σ² = n * p * (1 - p)
So, σ² = 50 * 0.5 * (1 - 0.5) = 12.5.

Now, we can use Chebyshev's Inequality to find the upper bound of the probability that the number of heads will be greater than 35 or less than 15. Chebyshev's Inequality states that for any random variable X with mean μ and variance σ², and for any positive constant k, the probability that X is more than k standard deviations away from its mean is less than or equal to 1/k². In other words:
P(|X - μ| ≥ kσ) ≤ 1/k².

In this case, we want to find the upper bound of the probability that the number of heads is more than 10 away from its mean (i.e., less than 15 or greater than 35). So, we can set k = 10/σ, where σ is the standard deviation of the number of heads. Since σ² = 12.5, σ = √12.5 ≈ 3.54.

Substituting the values into Chebyshev's Inequality, we get:
P(|X - 25| ≥ 10) ≤ 1/(10/3.54)² ≈ 0.125.

Therefore, the upper bound of the probability that the number of heads will be greater than 35 or less than 15 is approximately 0.125 or 12.5%.

baichuan4 To solve this problem, we'll use Chebyshev's Inequality, which states that for a random variable \(X\) with mean \(\mu\) and standard deviation \(\sigma\), for any \(k > 0\),

\[ P(|X - \mu| \geq k\sigma) \leq \frac{1}{k^2} \]

In this problem, we have a fair coin toss, so the probability of heads (or tails) is \(p = 0.5\). If we toss the coin \(n = 50\) times, the expected number of heads is \(np = 25\), and the variance of the number of heads is \(np(1-p) = 12.5\). Therefore, the standard deviation \(\sigma = \sqrt{12.5} \approx 3.5355\).

We want to find the probability that the number of heads is either less than 15 or greater than 35. This can be rephrased as finding the probability that the number of heads deviates from the mean by at least \(10\) or \(-10\). In terms of Chebyshev's inequality, we are looking for \(k\) such that \(10 = k \cdot 3.5355\). Solving for \(k\) gives us \(k \approx 2.827\).

Now, we can apply Chebyshev's Inequality:

\[ P(|X - 25| \geq 10) \leq \frac{1}{(2.827)^2} \]

\[ P(X \leq 15 \text{ or } X \geq 35) \leq \frac{1}{7.9824} \approx 0.1252 \]

Therefore, the upper bound of the probability that the number of heads will be greater than 35 or less than 15 is approximately 0.1252, or 12.52%.

doubao The mean of a binomial distribution for a fair coin tossed n times is np = 50 * 0.5 = 25 and the variance is np(1-p) = 50 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 12.5.

Let k = 10 (35 - 25 = 10 and 25 - 15 = 10).

Chebyshev's Inequality states that P(|X - μ| ≥ k) ≤ σ² / k².

So the upper bound of the probability is 12.5 / 10² = 0.125.
0.125
minimax Chebyshev's Inequality provides a way to estimate the probability that a random variable will differ from its mean by more than a certain amount. The inequality is stated as follows for a random variable \( X \) with mean \( \mu \) and standard deviation \( \sigma \):

\[ P(|X - \mu| \geq k\sigma) \leq \frac{1}{k^2} \]

where \( k \) is a positive real number.

For a fair coin tossed 50 times, the number of heads \( X \) follows a binomial distribution with parameters \( n = 50 \) and \( p = 0.5 \). The mean \( \mu \) and standard deviation \( \sigma \) of this distribution can be calculated as follows:

\[ \mu = np = 50 \times 0.5 = 25 \]
\[ \sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{50 \times 0.5 \times (1 - 0.5)} = \sqrt{50 \times 0.25} = \sqrt{12.5} \approx 3.5355 \]

We are interested in the probability that the number of heads is greater than 35 or less than 15. To apply Chebyshev's Inequality, we need to find \( k \) such that \( k\sigma \) covers the range from 15 to 35. The distance from the mean to either 15 or 35 is \( |15 - 25| = 10 \) or \( |35 - 25| = 10 \). Therefore, we can use \( k = \frac{10}{\sigma} \).

\[ k = \frac{10}{3.5355} \approx 2.8284 \]

Now we can apply Chebyshev's Inequality:

\[ P(|X - \mu| \geq 10) \leq \frac{1}{k^2} = \frac{1}{2.8284^2} \approx \frac{1}{8} \]

So the upper bound on the probability that the number of heads will be greater than 35 or less than 15 is \( \frac{1}{8} \) or 0.125.

Note that this is an upper bound, and the actual probability may be lower. Chebyshev's Inequality is not tight in this case, especially since the binomial distribution is discrete and symmetric around the mean, and the actual probabilities for extreme deviations are typically lower than the upper bound given by Chebyshev's Inequality.

kimi To solve this problem using Chebyshev's Inequality, we first need to understand that Chebyshev's Inequality is not directly applicable to a binomial distribution like the one we have with coin tosses. Chebyshev's Inequality is typically used for distributions that have a mean and a standard deviation, and it provides a bound on the probability that a random variable deviates from its mean by a certain amount.

However, for a binomial distribution, we can use the Central Limit Theorem to approximate the distribution of the number of heads when the number of trials (coin tosses) is large. The Central Limit Theorem tells us that the sum of a large number of independent and identically distributed random variables will be approximately normally distributed.

For a fair coin, the probability of getting a head (p) is 0.5, and the probability of getting a tail (q) is also 0.5. The number of heads in 50 tosses follows a binomial distribution with parameters n = 50 and p = 0.5.

The mean (μ) of a binomial distribution is given by:
μ = n * p

The variance (σ²) of a binomial distribution is given by:
σ² = n * p * q

For our problem:
μ = 50 * 0.5 = 25
σ² = 50 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 12.5
σ = √12.5 ≈ 3.54

Now, we want to find the probability that the number of heads is greater than 35 or less than 15. We can standardize these values using the z-score formula:
z = (X - μ) / σ

For X = 35:
z = (35 - 25) / 3.54 ≈ 3.09

For X = 15:
z = (15 - 25) / 3.54 ≈ -3.09

The z-score of -3.09 corresponds to a probability of being in the left tail of the distribution, which can be found using a standard normal distribution table or a calculator. The probability of being less than -3.09 is very small, approximately 0.0013.

Since the normal distribution is symmetric, the probability of being greater than 3.09 is also approximately 0.0013.

Now, we want the probability that the number of heads is either greater than 35 or less than 15, which is the sum of the two probabilities:
P(X > 35 or X < 15) ≈ 0.0013 + 0.0013 = 0.0026

So, the upper bound of the probability that the number of heads will be greater than 35 or less than 15 is approximately 0.0026 or 0.26%.

wenxinyiyan 要解决这个问题,我们首先需要理解切比雪夫不等式(Chebyshev's Inequality)是什么。切比雪夫不等式是一种在概率论中用来确定一个随机变量偏离其期望值的概率的界限。对于任何实数 \(k > 0\),切比雪夫不等式可以表示为:

\[P(|X - \mu| \geq k\sigma) \leq \frac{1}{k^2}\]

其中,\(X\) 是一个随机变量,\(\mu\) 是 \(X\) 的期望值,\(\sigma\) 是 \(X\) 的标准差。

在这个问题中,我们有一个公平的硬币,这意味着每次抛硬币得到正面(头)的概率是 0.5。因此,如果我们抛硬币 50 次,期望得到正面的次数是 \(50 \times 0.5 = 25\)。此外,二项分布的标准差可以计算为 \(\sqrt{np(1-p)}\),其中 \(n\) 是试验次数,\(p\) 是成功的概率。在这个例子中,\(n = 50\) 和 \(p = 0.5\),所以标准差 \(\sigma = \sqrt{50 \times 0.5 \times 0.5} = \sqrt{25/2}\)。

我们想要找到得到正面次数大于 35 或小于 15 的概率的上界。这可以转化为找到 \(|X - \mu|\) 大于 10(因为 35 和 15 都离期望值 25 有 10 个单位的距离)的概率的上界。因此,我们设置 \(k = 10 / \sigma = 10 / \sqrt{25/2}\)。

现在我们可以应用切比雪夫不等式:

\[P(|X - 25| \geq 10) \leq \frac{1}{k^2} = \frac{1}{(10 / \sqrt{25/2})^2} = \frac{1}{4 \times 5} = 0.05\]

所以,得到正面次数大于 35 或小于 15 的概率的上界是 0.05。

zhipu To find the upper bound on the probability that the number of heads will be greater than 35 or less than 15 using Chebyshev's Inequality, we can follow these steps:

1. **Define the Random Variable**: Let \( X \) be the number of heads in 50 coin tosses. Since the coin is fair, \( X \) follows a binomial distribution with parameters \( n = 50 \) and \( p = 0.5 \).

2. **Calculate the Mean and Variance**:
- The mean \( \mu \) of \( X \) is given by \( \mu = np = 50 \times 0.5 = 25 \).
- The variance \( \sigma^2 \) of \( X \) is given by \( \sigma^2 = np(1-p) = 50 \times 0.5 \times 0.5 = 12.5 \).

3. **Apply Chebyshev's Inequality**:
Chebyshev's Inequality states that for any random variable \( X \) with mean \( \mu \) and variance \( \sigma^2 \), and for any \( k > 0 \),
\[
P(|X - \mu| \geq k\sigma) \leq \frac{1}{k^2}.
\]

4. **Determine the Value of \( k \)**:
We need to find \( k \) such that \( |X - \mu| \geq k\sigma \) corresponds to \( X \) being greater than 35 or less than 15.
- For \( X \geq 35 \):
\[
|35 - 25| = 10.
\]
- For \( X \leq 15 \):
\[
|15 - 25| = 10.
\]
Thus, in both cases, \( |X - \mu| \geq 10 \).

Now, we need to express 10 in terms of \( \sigma \):
\[
k\sigma = 10 \implies k = \frac{10}{\sigma} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{12.5}} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{\frac{25}{2}}} = \frac{10}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}}} = \frac{10 \sqrt{2}}{5} = 2\sqrt{2}.
\]

5. **Calculate the Upper Bound**:
Using Chebyshev's Inequality:
\[
P(|X - 25| \geq 10) \leq \frac{1}{k^2} = \frac{1}{(2\sqrt{2})^2} = \frac{1}{8}.
\]

Therefore, the upper bound on the probability that the number of heads will be greater than 35 or less than 15 is \( \frac{1}{8} \) or 0.125.

**Solution**:
The upper bound of the probability is \( \boxed{0.125} \).

**Step 1: Define the Random Variable**

Let \( X \) be the number of heads in 50 tosses of a fair coin. Since each toss is independent and the coin is fair, \( X \) follows a binomial distribution:
\[
X \sim \text{Binomial}(n = 50, p = 0.5)
\]

**Step 2: Calculate the Mean and Variance**

The expected value (mean) \( \mu \) and variance \( \sigma^2 \) of \( X \) are:
\[
\mu = E[X] = np = 50 \times 0.5 = 25 \\
\sigma^2 = \text{Var}(X) = np(1 - p) = 50 \times 0.5 \times 0.5 = 12.5
\]
The standard deviation \( \sigma \) is:
\[
\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2} = \sqrt{12.5} = \sqrt{\frac{25}{2}} = \frac{5}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}
\]

**Step 3: Determine the Deviation from the Mean**

We are interested in the probability that \( X \) is greater than 35 or less than 15, which is a deviation of 10 from the mean since:
\[
35 - \mu = 35 - 25 = 10 \\
\mu - 15 = 25 - 15 = 10
\]
So, we're looking at \( |X - \mu| \geq 10 \).

**Step 4: Compute \( k \) in Terms of Standard Deviations**

Chebyshev's Inequality involves \( k \) standard deviations from the mean:
\[
k = \frac{\text{Deviation from the mean}}{\sigma} = \frac{10}{\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}} = \frac{10 \times 2}{5\sqrt{2}} = \frac{20}{5\sqrt{2}} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{2}} = 2\sqrt{2}
\]
(We rationalize the denominator in \(\frac{4}{\sqrt{2}}\) by multiplying numerator and denominator by \(\sqrt{2}\)).

**Step 5: Apply Chebyshev's Inequality**

Chebyshev's Inequality states that for any \( k > 0 \):
\[
P(|X - \mu| \geq k\sigma) \leq \frac{1}{k^2}
\]
Substitute \( k = 2\sqrt{2} \):
\[
P(|X - 25| \geq 10) \leq \frac{1}{(2\sqrt{2})^2} = \frac{1}{8}
\]

**Answer:**

An explicit calculation shows the upper bound is **⅛**, so the probability is at most **0.125**.

deepseekv3 To solve this problem using **Chebyshev's Inequality**, follow these steps:

---

### Step 1: Define the random variable
Let \( X \) be the number of heads in 50 tosses of a fair coin. \( X \) follows a **binomial distribution** with parameters \( n = 50 \) and \( p = 0.5 \).

---

### Step 2: Compute the mean and variance
For a binomial distribution:
- The **mean** is \( \mu = np \).
- The **variance** is \( \sigma^2 = np(1-p) \).

Substitute \( n = 50 \) and \( p = 0.5 \):
\[
\mu = 50 \cdot 0.5 = 25
\]
\[
\sigma^2 = 50 \cdot 0.5 \cdot (1 - 0.5) = 12.5
\]

---

### Step 3: Define the event of interest
We want to find the probability that the number of heads is **greater than 35 or less than 15**:
\[
P(X > 35 \text{ or } X < 15)
\]

This is equivalent to:
\[
P(X - \mu > 10 \text{ or } X - \mu < -10)
\]
\[
P(|X - \mu| > 10)
\]

---

### Step 4: Apply Chebyshev's Inequality
Chebyshev's Inequality states:
\[
P(|X - \mu| \geq k) \leq \frac{\sigma^2}{k^2}
\]

Here, \( k = 10 \). Substitute \( \sigma^2 = 12.5 \) and \( k = 10 \):
\[
P(|X - \mu| \geq 10) \leq \frac{12.5}{10^2}
\]
\[
P(|X - \mu| \geq 10) \leq \frac{12.5}{100}
\]
\[
P(|X - \mu| \geq 10) \leq 0.125
\]

---

### Step 5: Interpret the result
The upper bound on the probability that the number of heads is greater than 35 or less than 15 is \( 0.125 \).

---

### Final Answer:
The upper bound of the probability is \( 0.125 \).
