Many random number generators allow users to specify the range of the random numbers to be produced. Suppose you specify that the random number Y can take any value between 0 and 6. Then the density curve of the outcomes has constant height between 0 and 6 and height 0 elsewhere. On separate paper, draw a graph of the density curve. Use this graph and the fact that probability is the area under the curve to find $P(Y \leq 4.7)$. Give your answer to two decimal places. $P(Y \leq 4.7) = $

Step 1
Draw the density curve: On a graph, draw a horizontal line at height 0 from x = 0 to x = 4.7, then draw a vertical line from x = 4.7 to the top of the graph at height 1, and finally draw a horizontal line at height 0 from x = 4.7 to x = 6. This represents the Show more…

Many random number generators allow users to specify the range of the random numbers to be produced. Suppose that you specify that the random number Y can take any value between 0 and 5. The density curve of the outcome has a constant height between 0 and 5, and height 0 elsewhere. Draw a graph of the density curve and find P(1 ≤ Y ≤ 3). (Enter your answer to one decimal place.)

Many random number generators allow users to specify the range of the random numbers to be produced. Suppose that you specify that the random number Y can take any value between 0 and 2. Then the density curve of the outcomes has constant height between 0 and 2, and height 0 elsewhere. In order to answer the following questions, first draw a density curve describing this distribution. Pay attention to the height of the curve! Now find the following probabilities. P(0.6 < Y< 1.1 ) is . P( Y ≥ 0.9 ) is .

Let X be a random number between 0 and 1 produced by the idealized random number generator, which would have a uniform density curve. Find the listed probabilities. (Enter your answers rounded to one decimal place.) P(X ≤ 0.7) = P(X < 0.7) = P(0.4 ≤ X ≤ 0.9) =
