Answer:

a) 0.10 or 10%

b) 0.5417 or 54.17%

Explanation:

a) The median income of $60,000 is at the 50th percentile of the distribution. If 40% if incomes are above $72,000, then an income of $72,000 is at the 60th percentile of the distribution. Therefore, the probability that a family's income will be between $60,000 and $72,000 is:

P( \$60,000 \leq X \leq \$72,000)=0.6-0.5\\P( \$60,000 \leq X \leq \$72,000)=0.1 = 10\%

b) If the distribution is known to be uniform, the probability that a random chosen family has an income below $65,000 is:

P( X \leq \$65,000)=0.5+\frac{65,000-60,000}{72,000-60,000}*0.1\\ P( X \leq \$65,000)=0.5417 =54.17\%
