Example: Slater's Buffet || ||
Slater customers are charged for the amount of salad they take. Sampling suggests that the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
amount of salad taken is uniformly distributed between 5 ounces and 15 ounces.
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
where:
x = salad plate filling weight - ✔✔@Uniform Probability Distribution
|| || || || || || || || ||
f(x) = 1/10 for 5 < x < 15
|| || || || || || || ||
= 0 elsewhere
|| ||
@Expected value of X || || ||
(x) = (a + b)/2 = (5 + 15)/2 = 10
|| || || || || || || || || ||
@Variance of x || ||
Var(x) = (b - a)2/12 = (15 - 5)2/12 = 8.33
