The ages of cars in the staff parking lot of a suburban college are uniformly distributed from 0 to 8 years. a) What is the mean age of cars in the lot

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Mean = 4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Range = 0 to 8 years

Distribution: Uniform Distribution

Required

Determine the mean

The mean of a uniform distribution is calculated as thus:

[tex]Mean = \frac{a + b}{2}[/tex]

Where a and b are the range of the distribution

In this case:

[tex]b = 8; a = 0[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Mean = \frac{0 + 8}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = \frac{8}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 4[/tex]
