Answer to Problem 60E
Solution: The probability is 0.5.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation: First, obtain the area in the interval of
In the graph, the total area is 1 and the dotted area which is also called the density of the curve. Thus, the area of
Now, the probability of Y is less than 1 can be calculated as:
Hence, the probability is 0.5.
Section 2:
To graph: The density curve and shade the area which represents the probability.
Section 2:

Explanation of Solution
Graph: In the provided triangle, draw a vertical line at 1. Construct a triangle on the left end of the triangle and shade the left area. Hence, the density curve is shown below:
Section 3:
To find: The area.
Section 3:

Answer to Problem 60E
Solution: The area is 0.5.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation: From the provided triangle, base is equal to 1 and height is equal to 1. Thus, the area can be calculated as:
Hence, the area is 0.5.
(c)

Section 1:

Answer to Problem 60E
Solution: The probability is 0.875.
Explanation of Solution
First, obtain the area in the interval of
base is equal to 0.5 and height is equal to 0.5. Thus, the area can be calculated by the formula:
The area of
Now, the probability of Y is greater than 1.5 can be calculated as:
Hence, the probability is 0.875.
Section 2:
To graph: The density curve and shade the area which represents the probability.
Section 2:

Explanation of Solution
Graph: In the provided triangle, draw a vertical line at 1.5. Construct a triangle on the right end of the triangle and shade the left area. Hence, the density curve is shown below:
Section 3:
To find: The area.
Section 3:

Answer to Problem 60E
Solution: The area is 0.125.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation: From the provided triangle, base is equal to 0.5 and height is equal to 0.5. Thus, the area can be calculated as:
Hence, the area is 0.125.
