Question
(b) Compute P(x < 35).
When dealing with continuous distributions, the probability will be for a range of values instead of a single value. This probability will be the area under the graph between the given
values. For a = 30 and b = 40, the height of the density function was found to be 0.10. This gives the following uniform probability density distribution.

a ≤x≤ b
f(x)

0
elsewhere
0.10
30 ≤ x ≤ 40
0
elsewhere
The graph of this distribution is a rectangle, which has an area equal to the width multiplied by the height. The height was found to be 0.10, so the width is needed.
Since the desired probability is that x < 35, and this distribution is only valid when x is between 30 and 40, the rectangle representing this probability will be between |---Select---

Find the area of this rectangle, which is also P(x < 35).
