Suppose we are interested in bidding on a piece of land and we know one other bidder is interested. The seller announced that th

e highest bid in excess of $9,600 will be accepted. Assume that the competitor's bid x is a random variable that is uniformly distributed between $9,600 and $14,500. Suppose you bid $12,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted (to 2 decimals)?

Answer:

0.49 = 49% probability that your bid will be accepted

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 lower than x is given by the following formula.

P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}

Uniformly distributed between $9,600 and $14,500.

This means that a = 9600, b = 14500

Suppose you bid $12,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted (to 2 decimals)?

Your bid will be accepted if the competitor's bid X is lower than 12000. So

P(X \leq 12000) = \frac{12000 - 9600}{14500 - 9600} = 0.49

0.49 = 49% probability that your bid will be accepted

Answer:

2 4/5 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

We get this by crossing off numbers (that have blue x's) from each side of the number line. You would keep crossing off numbers from both sides till you are left with 1 or 2 numbers. In this case, we are given a set of numbers with a total of 9 numbers so we don't have to worry about there being 2 numbers at the end.
