Question 6.310

96. Uniform Distribution: Random Number Generation.

Computers and calculators use the uniform distribution to generate random numbers. Suppose we have a calculator that randomly generates numbers between 0 and 1, so that they form a uniform distribution.

  1. What is the probability that the random number generated is less than 0.3?
  2. Find the probability that a random number is generated that is between 0.27 and 0.92.

  3. What is the probability that a random number greater than 1 is generated?

    366

  4. What is the probability that the exact number 0.5 is generated? Explain.
