The American Mineralogist (Oct. 2009) published a study of the evolution of uranium minerals in the Earth's crust. Researchers estimate that the trace amount of
uranium x in reservoirs follows a uniform distribution ranging between 1 and 3 parts per million. Complete parts a through c.
a. Find E(x) and interpret its value. Select the correct answer below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
(Simplify your answer.)
O A. E(X)=
This value gives the minimum parts per million of uranium for the collection of all reservoirs on the Earth.
O B. E(X)=
This value gives the maximum parts per million of uranium for the collection of all reservoirs on the Earth.
O C. E(x)=
This value gives the mean parts per million of uranium for the collection of all reservoirs on the Earth.
O D. E(X)=
This value gives the mean parts per million of uranium in each reservoir on the Earth.

- 13.11 Random numbers. If you ask a computer to generate “random numbers" between 0 and 5, you will get observations from a uniform distribution. Figure 13.12 shows the density curve for a uniform distribution. This curve takes the constant value 0.2 between 0 and 5 and is zero outside that range. Use this density curve to answer these questions. a. Why is the total area under the curve equal to 1? b. The curve is symmetric. What is the value of the mean and median? c.
