(a) Find
(3)
(b) Find the value of such that
A single observation , of , is to be taken.
A rectangle is drawn on a centimetre grid with vertices having coordinates , , and
(c) Find the probability that the area of this rectangle is more than
(8)
解答
(a)
解法一

Using symmetry,
Therefore
So
(b)

思路
展开
区间以均值 10 为中心,中间面积是 0.60,所以两侧尾部各 0.20;右端点对应 ,即 。

The area of the rectangle is
We need
So
Factorising,
Therefore
Hence
Now
and
So
Therefore the probability is approximately
