Uniform probability?  Here the probability function graph is a rectangle of length 20-4 (or 16) and width / height of 1/16.  Note that the area under the graph from x=4 to x=20 is 1 (which is always the case when we're discussing probability functions).  The area under the graph from 15 to 20 is (20-15)(1/16), or
5(1/16), or 5/16.  Thus, the probability that a specimen will yield a toxic concentration level is 5/16.

I have no way of knowing what you already know about probability distributions.  If you need a more detailed explanation, please ask questions here.

How do I find the endpoint of a segment when given the first endpoint (-6, 5) and the midpoint(-1.5, 1)?​
Anika [276]

Answer:

(3, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the midpoint formula.

x = (x₁ + x₂) / 2

-1.5 = (-6 + x) / 2

-3 = -6 + x

x = 3

y = (y₁ + y₂) / 2

1 = (5 + y) / 2

2 = 5 + y

y = -3

The other endpoint is (3, -3).
