A weather forecaster predicts that the May rainfall in a local
area will be between 4 and 8 inches but has no idea where within

May rainfall in the local area, and assume that x is
uniformly distributed over the interval 4 to 8 inches.

μx inches
(b) What is the probability that the observed May
rainfall will fall within two standard deviations of the mean?
