Question 410645: The weight loss for the first month of a diet program varies between 6 pounds and 12 pounds and its spread evenly so that there is uniform distribution. Find the probability of the given range of pounds between 7.5 and 9 pounds. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The weight loss for the first month of a diet program varies between 6 pounds and 12 pounds and its spread evenly so that there is uniform distribution. Find the probability of the given range of pounds between 7.5 and 9 pounds.
----
Draw the uniform distribution.
Base is 12-6 = 6
So, height is 1/6 so the area will be 1.
-------
P(7.5 < x < 9) = (3/2)*(1/6) = 1/4
