Question

A business executive, transferred from Chicago to Atlanta, needs to sell her house in Chicago quickly. The executive's employer has offered to buy the house for $210,000, but the offer expires at the end of the week. The executive does not currently have a better offer, but can afford to leave the house on the market for another month. From conversations with her realtor, the executive believes the price she will get by leaving the house on the market for another month is uniformly distributed between $200,000 and $225,000. a. If she leaves the house on the market for another month, what is the probability density function for the sales price? Note: x is in thousands of dollars. S(x) - for 200

Explanation / Answer

here for uniform distirbution ; paramter a=200 and b=225

therefore f(x)=1/(b-a)=1/(225-200)=1/25

a) function #1 is correct

b) P(X>215000) =(225-215)/(225-200) =10/25 =0.4

c) P(X<210000)=(210-200)/(225-200)=0.4

d) expected price =(a+b)/2 =(225000+200000)/2 =212500
