For a continuous uniform distribution U(200, 400), the parameters are μ = 300 and σ = 100.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parameters for a continuous uniform distribution U(a,b) are a and b. Therefore, for U(200,400), the parameters are a=200 and b=400. The mean (μ) is calculated as (a+b)/2, which is (200+400)/2=300. The standard deviation (σ) is calculated as (b−a)/√12, which is (400−200)/√12≈81.65. Therefore, the statement that σ=100 is false.
