- A point is to be randomly plotted on the \(x\)-axis, where the units are measured in cm .
The random variable \(R\) represents the \(x\) coordinate of the point on the \(x\)-axis and \(R\) is uniformly distributed over the interval [-5,19]
A negative value indicates that the point is to the left of the origin and a positive value indicates that the point is to the right of the origin.
- Find the exact probability that the point is plotted to the right of the origin.
- Find the exact probability that the point is plotted more than 3.5 cm away from the origin.
- Sketch the cumulative distribution function of \(R\)
Three independent points with \(x\) coordinates \(R _ { 1 } , R _ { 2 }\) and \(R _ { 3 }\) are plotted on the \(x\)-axis.
- Find the exact probability that
- all three points are more than 10 cm from the origin
- the point furthest from the origin is more than 10 cm from the origin.
