  • Card 6 / 16:
    According to a study by Dr. John McDougall of his live-in weight loss program at St. Helena Hospital, the people who follow his program lose between six and 15 pounds a month until they approach trim body weight. Let’s suppose that the weight loss is uniformly distributed. We are interested in the weight loss of a randomly selected individual following the program for one month.

    Define the random variable. X = _________X ~ _________Graph the probability distribution.f ( x ) = _________μ = _________σ = _________Find the probability that the individual lost more than ten pounds in a month.Suppose it is known that the individual lost more than ten pounds in a month. Find the probability that he lost less than 12 pounds in the month.P (7 < x < 13| x > 9) = __________. State this in a probability question, similarly to parts g and h, draw the picture, and find the probability.
