A uniform distribution is a continuous probability distribution where every value of X on an interval is equally likely to be the outcome. If X is defined on the interval [a,b], then when graphed the density function for the distribution will be a horizontal line of height with domain [a,b]. Probabilities on a continuous random variable can be determined by calculating the area under the curve of the graph of the density function for the distribution. In general: For a uniform distribution function defined on [a,b] P(X < c) = c-a b-a b-c P(X> c) = b P(c < X < d) == where c 6.2)
