![OQuestion 1: Continuous random variables – Uniform distribution

uniform distribution on
[A, B].
a) Find the cumulative distribution function if A=12 cm and B=18 cm.
b) What is the probability that wall thickness exceeds 14 cm?
c) What is the probability that the wall thickness is between 13 cm and 16 cm?
d) What is the expected wall thickness if A = 12 cm and B= 18 cm?
e) Describe by words what is the shape of the area under the density curve of the thickness of the
conference-hall wall.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/e2a2b181-3531-4ece-8625-1f28fff6b1ef/c0506f61-5d20-4dca-8294-ae5d86c03c4d/c91nawr_thumbnail.jpeg)
