If X is a random variable with the given distribution, determine – without calculations! – which of the two probabilities is higher or if they have to be equal. Explain your answer.

(a) P{−1 6 X 6 4} and P{10 6 X 6 15}, where X ∼ Uniform(−10, 20).

(b) P{−1 6 X 6 4} and P{10 6 X 6 15}, where X ∼ Normal(2, 3).
