Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem shows a uniform distribution of a random variable between 0 and 2. A uniform distribution has a constant probability density function (PDF) over its range.
For a uniform distribution over the interval , the probability density function is: where and , so:
The probability can be calculated by determining the fraction of the interval from to 2. Since is uniformly distributed, the probability is proportional to the length of the interval.
The length of the interval from to 2 is:
The total length of the distribution's interval is . Therefore, the probability is:
Thus, the probability that is .
