Suppose that the depth (cm) of a bioturbation layer in sediment in a certain region follows a un distribution on the interval [8, 20]. e) (6 points) what are the mean () and variance () of depth? f) (4 points) What is the probability that a random observed depth is at most 10? D- A

Explanation / Answer

I am assuming you are asking solution for 2. as 1 is already solved on the image.

2. Depth(cms) of a bioturbutation layer in sediment follows a uniform distribution over the inetrval [8,20]

f(x,a,b) = {1/b-a 8<=x<=10 ; 0 elsewhere

Mean of depth = a+b/2 = 8+10/2 = 9

variance of depth = (b-a)^2/12 = (2)^2/12 = 4/12 = 1/3 = 0.333

P(x <=10) = P(x<8) + P(8<= x <=10) = 0 + 10-8/10-8 = 1
