Default Tchebysheff's Theorem

Here's my question : The U.S Mint produces dimes with an average diameter of .5 inch and standard deviation .01. Using Tchebysheff's theorem, find a lower bound for the number of coins in a lot of 400 coins that are expected to have a diameter between .48 and .52.

-I just really am lost on this problem, anyone able to help?
