Suppose X ∼ U(0, 12).
(a) Find the mean and standard deviation for X.
(b) Find P(x > 7).
(c) Find P(x > 5 | x < 10).
X~ U( 0,12)
f(x) = ; 0<x < 12
= 0; otherwise
a) Mean , E(X) = =
Standard deviation = = = 3.4641
b) P( X>7) =
=
=
=
= [12-7]
= 5/12
c) P( X>5 | X < 10) =
So first, P( 5<X < 10) =
=
=
=
= [10-5]
= 5 / 12
Now, P( X <10) =
=
=
=
= [10-0]
= 10/12
P( X>5 | X < 10) = = = 5/10 = 0.5
