Chapter 5: Q.5.1 (page 316)

Consider the function f(x)=18 for 0≤x≤8. Draw the graph of f(x) and find P(2.5<x<7.5).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The graph of the P(2.5<x<7.5)is

The value of theP(2.5<x<7.5)will be0.625

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given in the question that the function f(x)=18for 0≤x≤8

02

Solution

Here,

f(x)=18,    0≤x≤80,    otherwise

The graph of f(x)for P(2.5<x<7.5)is drawn below,

03

Solution

Again the required probability will be

P(2.5<x<7.5)=base×height

=(7.5−2.5)×18

=5×18

=0.625
