Draw a number line from 1 to 20
the probability is 0.1
Between 10 and 20 on the x-axis, y=0.1

probability x<15 is 0.5, because the rectangle is 5 long and 0.1 wide
probability of x=12.4 exact is 0, because it is a single dimensionless point.
expected value is 15 (a+b)/2
variance is (b-a)^2/12=10^2/12=8.33
