8.5 The Continuous Uniform Distribution
- Key Idea 1: A statistic with a continuous uniform distribution can take on any number at all from the lowest to the highest possible value...
Discussion
- The density curve for a continuous uniform distribution is a rectangle whose total area is 1 (recall that the probabilities of all possible values must sum to 1).
- The height is 1/(high value - low value).
- The theoretical mean is (high value + low value)/2.
- The theoretical standard deviation is,
