Answer 1

Answer:

a) 80% probability that x lies between 7 and 27.

b) 28% probability that x lies between 6 and 13.

c) 44% probability that x lies between 9 and 20.

d) 28% probability that x lies between 11 and 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value x between c and d, in which d is larger than c, is given by the following formula.

$P(c \leq x \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}$

Uniform distribution from a = 4 to b = 29

(a) Find the probability that x lies between 7 and 27.

So $c = 7, d = 27$

$P(7 \leq x \leq 27) = \frac{27 - 7}{29 - 4} = 0.8$

80% probability that x lies between 7 and 27.

​(b) Find the probability that x lies between 6 and 13. ​

So $c = 6, d = 13$

$P(6 \leq x \leq 13) = \frac{13 - 6}{29 - 4} = 0.28$

28% probability that x lies between 6 and 13.

(c) Find the probability that x lies between 9 and 20.

​So $c = 9, d = 20$

$P(9 \leq x \leq 20) = \frac{20 - 9}{29 - 4} = 0.44$

44% probability that x lies between 9 and 20.

(d) Find the probability that x lies between 11 and 18.

So $c = 11, d = 18$

$P(11 \leq x \leq 18) = \frac{18 - 11}{29 - 4} = 0.28$

28% probability that x lies between 11 and 18.
