Answer:
0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-
- The uniform distribution parameters are as follows:
a = $10,000 b = $15,000
Find:-
Suppose you bid $12,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted?
Solution:-
- We will denote a random variable X that defines the bid placed being accepted. The variable X follows a uniform distribution with parameters [a,b].
X ~ U(10,000 , 15,000)
- The probability of $12,000 bid being accepted can be determined by the cdf function of the uniform distribution, while the pmf is as follows:
Pmf = 1 / ( b - a )
Pmf = 1 / ( 15,000 - 10,000 )
Pmf = 1 / ( 5,000 )
"<span>-No, because California and Texas also have two of the greatest areas, so they may not have the greatest population densities."
This is correct as the states such as New Jersey may not have as large as a population as Texas and California but, have a significantly less land than those states. Population density refers to people per km squared, which takes both land and population into account.
Hope this helps!
