Question 866608: Suppose a uniform random variable can be used to describe the outcome of an experiment with the outcomes ranging from 50 to 70. What is the probability that this experiment results in an outcome less than 60?
A) 0.35
B) 0.08
C) 1
D) 0.50 Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The difference from 50 to 60 is 10 (60-50 = 10). Since the entire interval is 20 units (70-50 = 20), this means the probability is 10/20 = 1/2 = 0.50
