Examining the location of accidents on a level 5mile bike pa

Examining the location of accidents on a level 5-mile bike path shows that they occur uniformly

Solution

(a) It is on or above the horizontal axis everywhere, and because it forms a 1/5 × 5 rectangle, the area under the curve is 1.

(b) area between 0 and 1 = (1 0) × 1/5 = 1/5 = 0.2

(c) area between 0.8 and 1.3 = (1.3 0.8) × 1/5 = 0.5 x 1/5 = 0.1

(d) area between 1 and 4 = (4 1) × 1/5 = 3/5 = 0.6
