What mathematical concept do I need to read about to answer the following question?

Given:

  • A population with an unknown mean, variance.
  • A sample with a known size, mean, variance.

What is the range of values for 95% of the population data?

I initially thought that confidence intervals answered this question, but per https://math.stackexchange.com/a/1967239/25814 they provide a statement about the population mean, not its data.

Perhaps Chebyshev's inequality is what you're looking for. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev%27s_inequality
