The Uniform Distribution · Exercise 35
For each probability and percentile problem, draw the picture.

(b) X ~ _________
(c) Graph the probability distribution.
(d) f(x) = _________
(e) μ = _________
(f) σ = _________
(g) Find the probability that she is over 6.5 years old.
(h) Find the probability that she is between four and six years old.
(i) Find the 70^th percentile for the age of first graders on September 1 at Garden Elementary School.
