Question

this assignment is to be completed in class; remote completion will not be accepted. question 7 0.5 pts the age of cars in the staff parking lot of a suburban college is uniformly distributed from six months (0.5 years) to 9.5 years. the distribution for x is ______. a. x - u(0.5,9.5) b. (0.5,9.5) c x - u

Explanation:

In probability and statistics, the uniform distribution is denoted as \(X - U(a,b)\) where \(a\) is the lower bound and \(b\) is the upper bound. Here, the age of cars \(X\) is uniformly distributed with \(a = 0.5\) (lower bound) and \(b=9.5\) (upper bound). Option \(b\) \((0.5,9.5)\) just represents the interval, not the distribution notation. Option \(c\) \(X - U\) is incomplete as it lacks the bounds.

Answer:

A. \(X - U(0.5,9.5)\)
