Question 1161654: High temperatures in a certain city for the month of August follow a uniform distribution over the interval 60F to 85F What is the probability that a randomly selected August day has a high temperature that exceeded 65F. Answer by ikleyn(52925) (Show Source):
Since the temperature of August at this location is UNIFORMLY distributed,
the probability under the question is the length of the interval (85-65) °F related to the full scale interval (85-60) °F
P = = = = 0.8 = 80%. ANSWER
