Question 2:
The random variable X is distributed N(6,9). Thus the probability density function for X is
You are required to estimate P(8 <X< 10),
(a) by using tables (Answer: 0.1596)
(b) by using the trapezium rule with four intervals (Answer: "ends" = 0.16115; middle =
0.2419; Probability for X = 0.1612)
(c) by using Simpson's rule with four intervals (Answer: “ends" = 0.16115; evens = 0.1613;
odds = 0.0807; Probability for X = 0.1612)
