Question 1178731: At an ocean side nuclear power plant, seawater is used as part of the cooling system. This raises the temperature of the water that is discharged back into the ocean. The amount that the water temperature is raised has a uniform distribution over the interval from 15° to 25° C.
A)Write the pdf (f (x))
B)What is the probability that the temperature increase will be less than 18° C?
C)What is the probability that the temperature increase will be between 20° C and 25°C?

f(x)=(1/10) for 15 < = x < =25 1/(B-A)
-
B is 3/10 of the way between 15 and 25 so the probability is 0.30.
-
between 20 and 25 C the probability is 0.50.
