Hello, hope this makes some sense, the midpoint formula is what’s given in the picture and the rest is just substitution
Answer:
a) For this case we define the random variable as X ="waiting time during peak hours" and we know that this distribution follows an uniform distribution:

Where a and b represent the limits of the distribution.
b) 
And the height for this case would be 0.125
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a
For this case we define the random variable as X ="waiting time during peak hours" and we know that this distribution follows an uniform distribution:

Where a and b represent the limits of the distribution.
Part b
For this case the density function would be given by:

And the height for this case would be 0.125
And
for other case.
The cumulative distribution function would be given by:



The answer to your question is:
It is a quadratic equation in 'x', with 'n' mistakenly typed in the second term..
Although you didn't ask for the solutions to the equation, I'm already here
so I might as well go through it and find them:
<span><u>3x² - 2x - 5 = 0</u></span>
In terms of the generic quadratic formula:
A = 3
B = -2
C = -5
Plug those into the quadratic formula, and you discover that
<u>x = -1</u>
and
<u>x = ⁵/₃</u>
Perimeter is equal to 90 in.
Area is approximately equal to 389.71 in.
