Suppose That the Distribution of People's Ages in the United

question 69

Short Answer

Suppose that the distribution of people's ages in the United States is essentially constant, or uniform, from age 0 to age 60, and from there it decreases linearly until age 100.This distribution p(x)is shown below, where x is age in years, and p measures probability density.Such a probability distribution is called trapezoidal. According to this simplified model of the distribution of people's ages in the United States, what percentage of the population is between 0 and 100 years old?
