A random phenomenon results in a number in the range of −2 to +2. All numbers in the range are equally likely, so the density curve is flat. What is the height of the curve? Explain your answer.
Suppose a density curve has an area of 0.361 to the left of 12 and an area of 0.428 to the right of 14. What is the size of the area between 12 and 14? Explain your answer.
Explain in your own words why a density curve has the two properties.
