Question

Suppose that the number of pounds of grapes sold by the smalltown co-op grocery store in a day is equally likely to be anywhere between 0 and 100 pounds (fractional values are possible). if you use a probability density function to describe the number of pounds of grapes sold daily by the store, the height of the function for any number of pounds between 0 and 100 is

Answer 1

The case that we are given is a form of uniform distribution.

For a uniform distribution, the height of the function is

1 / (b – a)

Height = 1/ (100 – 0)

Height = 1/100

= 0.01

So the height of function is 0.01.
