Question

Births are approximately Uniformly distributed between the 52 weeks of the year. They can be said to follow a Uniform distribution from 1 to 53 (a spread of 52 weeks). Round answers to 4 decimal places when possible.

  1. The mean of this distribution is   .
  2. The standard deviation is   .
  3. The probability that a person will be born at the exact moment that week 18 begins is
        P(x=18)=P(x=18)=   .
  4. The probability that a person will be born between weeks 15 and 17 is
        P(15<x<17)P(15<x<17) =  .
  5. The probability that a person will be born after week 28 is
        P(x>28)=P(x>28)=   .
  6. P(x>5∣x<31)=P(x>5∣x<31)=   .
  7. Find the 80th percentile.  
  8. Find the maximum for the lower quarter.
