De nition 2: Uniform Distribution A continuous random ariablev V)(R that has equally likely outcomes over the domain, a<x<b. Often referred as the Rectangular distribution because the graph of the pdf has the form of a rectangle. Notation: X~U (a;b). The mean is = a+b 2 and the standard deviation is ˙= q (ba) 2 12 The probability density ...
