    Step-by-step explanation:

    a) a and b are the lower and higher values of the interval for which uniform distribution is defined.

    Here a = 6 and b = 10

    b) Mean of the uniform distribution = (a+b) / 2 = (6+10) / 2 = 8

    Or int x (1/4) dx = x^2/8 = 8

    c) Variance of the uniform distribution = (b^2-a^2) / 12 = (100-64) / 12

    = 36/12 = 3

    Std dev = sq rt of 3 = 1.732

    d) To find total area

    PDF of the distribution = 1 / (b-a) = 1/4, 6
    Area = / int 6 to 10 of 1/4 dx

    = x/4

    Subtitute limits

    = (10-6) / 4 = 1

    So total area = 1

    d) P (X>7) = int 7 to 10 of 1/4 dx = 3/4

    e) P (7
