You want to find the value of x for which the area under the curve to the left of x is 0.6. One way to do that is to create the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for the given PDF, then see where it is equal to 0.6.
Doing that, we find a = 5.
We can't see the table but if every input or x has only one specific output or y then it is a function so if every different height has one number of stories then it's a function you can have it though to were say you have 18 feet and 17 feet and they are both 3 stories then it's still a function but if you have 18 feet thats 3 stories and 18 feet thats 4 stories then its not a function
