Question
The text discusses the specification of a range for random number generators:

"Many random number generators allow users to specify the range of the random numbers to be produced. Suppose you specify that the random number \( Y \) can take any value between 0 and 3. Then the density curve of the outcomes has constant height between 0 and 3 and height 0 elsewhere."

A question follows:

"What is the height of the density curve between 0 and 3? Give your answer to two decimal places."

There is a text box labeled "height:" for inputting the answer.

The content is related to probability density functions, where the constant height over a specified interval implies a uniform distribution. The height is determined by ensuring the total area under the curve equals 1.
