I'm self studying the book Introduction to Applied Linear Algebra – Vectors, Matrices, and Least Squares

In page 48, the author write: "It says,for example, that no more than 1/25 = 4% of the entries of a vector can exceed its RMS value by more than a factor of 5."

I need more explain about it. Especially about why the factor is 5?

According to Chebyshev's_inequality, the probability of a value to deviate more than $k=5$ standard deviations from the mean is at most $1/k^2$.

When applied to vectors in your specific case, and following the book you cited, let $k$ be the number of elements of the vector $vecx=(x_1,ldots,x_n)$ such that $||x_i|| geq a > 0$.

Hence $||vecx||^2 = sum x_i^2 geq k a^2 + (n - k) times 0$, which means that we have $k$ values larger than $a^2$ and the others $n-k$ values are at least zero.

Since the root mean square value is $rms(vecx) = sqrtfracn$, it follows that $rms(vecx)^2 = fracn geq frac k a^2n$.

Therefore, we get the final expression that says
$$
frac kn leq left( fracrms(vecx)a right) ^2
$$

So, following the example, where $a = 5 rms(vecx)$, we have that $frac kn leq left( frac15 right) ^2 = 4 %$, so, the fraction of elements of the vector larger (in absolute value) than $5 rms$ is at most $4%$.

If we chose another number, say $a = 2 rms(vecx)$, we would have that $frac kn leq left( frac12 right) ^2 = 25 %$.

According to Chebyshev's_inequality, the probability of a value to deviate more than $k=5$ standard deviations from the mean is at most $1/k^2$.

When applied to vectors in your specific case, and following the book you cited, let $k$ be the number of elements of the vector $vecx=(x_1,ldots,x_n)$ such that $||x_i|| geq a > 0$.

Hence $||vecx||^2 = sum x_i^2 geq k a^2 + (n - k) times 0$, which means that we have $k$ values larger than $a^2$ and the others $n-k$ values are at least zero.

Since the root mean square value is $rms(vecx) = sqrtfracn$, it follows that $rms(vecx)^2 = fracn geq frac k a^2n$.

Therefore, we get the final expression that says
$$
frac kn leq left( fracrms(vecx)a right) ^2
$$

So, following the example, where $a = 5 rms(vecx)$, we have that $frac kn leq left( frac15 right) ^2 = 4 %$, so, the fraction of elements of the vector larger (in absolute value) than $5 rms$ is at most $4%$.

If we chose another number, say $a = 2 rms(vecx)$, we would have that $frac kn leq left( frac12 right) ^2 = 25 %$.
