Math Problem Statement
Suppose a random variable X follows a uniform distribution with minimum 10 and maximum 50. What is the probability that X takes a value greater than 35? Please enter your answer rounded to 4 decimal places.
Solution
For a uniform distribution on the interval , the probability can be calculated using the formula:
In this case, , , and . Plugging in the values:
Now, converting to a decimal:
Thus, the probability that takes a value greater than 35 is 0.3750 (rounded to four decimal places).
