SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the transition between two integrals in the context of probability, specifically involving a Uniform distribution U(2,4). The factor of 1/(4-2) is clarified as a necessary component derived from the properties of the Uniform distribution. Participants emphasize the importance of following a structured homework template for clarity and effective problem-solving. The conversation highlights the need for clear communication of mathematical problems to facilitate accurate assistance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of integral calculus
  • Familiarity with Uniform distribution concepts
  • Knowledge of probability density functions
  • Ability to follow structured problem-solving templates
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of Uniform distribution and its applications
  • Learn about integral calculus techniques for probability problems
  • Research the significance of probability density functions in statistics
  • Review effective communication strategies for mathematical problem-solving
USEFUL FOR

Students in calculus and statistics, educators teaching probability concepts, and anyone seeking to improve their mathematical problem-solving skills.

I had to do

but it was given as a shortcut that

and the result was

How does one go from the 2nd to the 3d when there isn't an x^2 in the beginning there?

The first integral looks funny. Why is there a factor of 1/(4-2) inside the integral?

In future, you should follow the homework template and state the complete, original problem, along with any work you have done toward finding the solution.

It has no ambiguity, it is actually 1/(4-2). It was based on a Uniform distribution of U(2,4).
 
fateswarm, this is unacceptable. Please start a new thread and USE THE TEMPLATE. You may not substitute pictures, you must type it all in.

Helpers, please do not respond to threads that are missing the homework template or do not follow the rules.

Thank you.
