Solved: Exercises 35 to 38 involve a special type of density curve one that takes
Chapter 2, Problem 37(choose chapter or problem)
Exercises 35 to 38 involve a special type of density curve one that takes constant height (looks like a horizontal line) over some interval of values. This density curve describes a variable whose values are distributed evenly (uniformly) over some interval of values. We say that such a variable has a uniform distribution. Biking accidents What is the mean m of the density curve pictured in Exercise 35? (That is, where would the curve balance?) What is the median? (That is, where is the point with area 0.5 on either side?)
