The statement “The probability that x is between a and b is the area under the curve between a and b” is true or false.
Answer to Problem 1CR
Solution: The statement “The probability that x is between a and b is the area under the curve between a and b” is true.
Explanation of Solution
The probability that x is between a andb is the area under the curve between a and b is true. The curve used to describe the distribution of a continuous random variable is called probability distribution curve. It tells what proportion of the population falls within any given interval.
