Question

A package delivery service divides their packages into weight classes. suppose that packages in the 14 to 20 pound class are uniformly distributed, meaning that all weights within that class are equally likely to occur. find the 40th percentile of packages weights in this weight class.

Answer 1

Answer: $yy - \alpha \alpha = Percentile (\beta \beta -\alpha \alpha )$

$yy = 0.40 (20 - 14) + 14[tex] yy = 2.4 + 14$

$yy = 16.4$

Thus, 16.4 pound class belongs to the 40th percentile of the weight class.
