Find the probability that x falls in the shaded area.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that xfalls in the shaded area is:P(2.5鈮�x鈮�5.5)=0.3

Step by step solution

01

Given Information 

Given in the question that a graph.

We have to find the probability that xfalls in the shaded area.

02

Calculation

From the information, we know that

f(x)=110,鈥呪赌呪赌呪赌�0鈮�x鈮�100,鈥呪赌呪赌呪赌�otherwise

Let's consider the graph first, Where we obtain that the shaded region is 2.5鈮�x鈮�5.5.

Therefore, the probability of the shaded region will be,

P(2.5鈮�x鈮�5.5)=鈭�2.55.5鈥�110dx

=110[x]2.55.5

=110[5.5鈭�2.5]

=310

=0.3

According to a study by Dr. John McDougall of his live-in weight loss program, the people who follow his program lose between six and 15 pounds a month until they approach trim body weight. Let鈥檚 suppose that the weight loss is uniformly distributed. We are interested in the weight loss of a randomly selected individual following the program for one month. a. Define the random variable. X = _________ b. X ~ _________ c. Graph the probability distribution. d. f(x) = _________ e. 渭 = _________ f. 蟽 = _________ g. Find the probability that the individual lost more than ten pounds in a month. h. Suppose it is known that the individual lost more than ten pounds in a month. Find the probability that he lost less than 12 pounds in the month. i. P(7 < x < 13|x > 9) = __________. State this in a probability question, similarly to parts g and h, draw the picture, and find the probability.
