Question

Suppose that elementary students' ages are uniformly distributed from 5 to 13 years old. The unshaded rectangle below with area 1 depicts this. The shaded rectangle depicts the probability that a randomly selected elementary student will be between ages 9.92 and 11.94 years old. what is the base of the shaded rectangle

Answer 1

The base of the shaded rectangle obtained using the interval represented by the difference in the ages 11.94 years old and 9.92 years old is 2.02

The steps used to find the length of the base of the shaded rectangle can be presented as follows;

The base of the shaded rectangle is the distance between the points 11.94 and 9.92, which can be found as follows;

Base of the shaded rectangle is; 11.94 - 9.92 = 2.02

The base length of the shaded rectangle is about 2.02 units
