Suppose X has a continuous uniform distribution over the interval [2.2, 5.9]. Round your answers to 3 decimal places. (a) Determine the mean of X. (b) Determine the variance of X. (c) What is P(X < 4.2)?

Step 1
2 and the upper limit is 5.9. Plugging these values into the formula, we get: mean = (2.2 + 5.9) / 2 = 8.1 / 2 = 4.05 So the mean of X is 4.05. (b) To determine the variance of X, we can use the formula for the variance of a continuous uniform distribution, Show more…
