Suppose that random variable X is uniformly distributed between 6 and 22. Draw a graph of the density function, and then use it to help find the following probabilities:
P(X<14.5) =
Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Assuming that "uniformly distributed" means the variable is continuous rather than discrete, the probability function is simply y = 1/x, where x is the range of the data.

A graph of such a function is of little interest....

The probability that x is less than 14.5 is simply the length of the interval from 6 to 14.5, divided by the length of the whole range:
