An article suggests the uniform distribution on the interval (7.5, 20) as a model for depth (cm) of the bioturbation layer in sediment in a certain region.
(a) What are the mean and variance of depth? (Round your variance to two decimal places.)
| mean | ||
| variance |
(b) What is the cdf of depth?
F(x) =
| 0 | x < 7.5 | |
| 7.5 ≤ x < 20 | ||
| 1 | 20 ≤ x |
(c) What is the probability that observed depth is at most 10?
(Round your answer to four decimal places.)
What is the probability that observed depth is between 10 and 15?
