Answer» Let X have a uniform distribution on (,) ( a , B ) . The DENSITY function of X is
()=1− f ( x ) = 1 b − a if ≤≤ a ≤ x ≤ b and 0 0 elsewhere
The the MEAN is GIVEN by
[]=∫−=2−22(−)=+2 E [ X ] = ∫ a b x b − a d x = b 2 − a 2 2 ( b − a ) = b + a 2
The variance is given by[2]−([])2 E [ X 2 ] − ( E [ X ] ) 2
[2]=∫2−=3−33(−)=2++23 E [ X 2 ] = ∫ a b x 2 b − a d x = b 3 − a 3 3 ( b − a ) = b 2 + b a + a 2 3
The required variance is then
2++23−(+)24=(−)212 b 2 + b a + a 2 3 − ( b + a ) 2 4 = ( b − a ) 2 12 32.2K viewsView UpvotersView Sharers 61 1 1 1 comment from Dauren Baitursyn Sponsored by Jobreaders Hope this helps
