The closing price of Schnur Sporting Goods, Inc., common stock is uniformly distributed between $17 and 35 per share.

What is the probability that the stock price will be:

More than $31?

Less than or equal to $23?

1 answer

uniform between 17 and 35 so over a range of 35-17 = 18

let height of rectangle be 1
then area between 17 and 35 is 18

area from 31 to 35 = 4
so 4/18 = .222 for >31

area from 17 to 23 = 6
6/18 = .333
