With the known values of a = 200,000 and b = 230,000, the first equation for the probability density function for the sales price of a home is found as follows.
f(x) = 1/b – a, a ≤ x ≤ b
= 1/230,000 − 200000, 200,000 ≤ x ≤ 230,000
= 1/30000, 200,000 ≤ x ≤ 230,000
Everywhere else, the probability density function will just be 0. Therefore, the full probability density function for the sales price of a home follows.

In probability, it is common to model the deviation of a day's temperature from the monthly average temperature using the Gaussian probability density function, f(t) = This means that the probability that the day's temperature will be between t = a and t = b different from the monthly average temperature is given by the area under the graph of y = f(t) between t = a and t = b. A related function is 2 F(1) = e2/9 dt, r20. This function gives the probability that the day's temperature is between t = -x and t = r different from the monthly average temperature. For example, F(1) = (0.36 indicates that there's roughly a 36% chance that the day's temperature will be within 1 degree (between 1 degree less and 1 degree more) of the monthly average. 1 (a) Find a power series representation of F(r) (write down the power series using sigma notation).
