Births are approximately Uniformly distributed between the 52 weeks of the year. They can be said to follow a Uniform distribution from 1 to 53 (a spread of 52 weeks). Round answers to 4 decimal places when possible.

  1. The mean of this distribution is
  2. The standard deviation is
  3. The probability that a person will be born at the exact moment that week 52 begins is P(x = 52) =
  4. The probability that a person will be born between weeks 20 and 34 is P(20<x<34)P(20<x<34) =
  5. The probability that a person will be born after week 14 is P(x > 14) =
  6. P(x > 6 | x < 19) =
  7. Find the 23rd percentile.
  8. Find the minimum for the upper quartile.
