Question about Uniform Distribution

[lusty bloom]

i'm unsure how to complete (b).
i did (1.5-0)×1/10
because i assumed since it's |x| it means til 0
but this is wrong according to the marking scheme

[shut terrace]

yeah because |X| < 1.5 is not the same as 0 ≤ X < 1.5

it's -1.5 < X < 1.5

you need to remember how to solve absolute value inequalities

[lusty bloom]

ohhh 😭 that makes sense

i thought it meant all x will be positive

so (1.5+1.5)×1/10 = 3/10 right

[shut terrace]

yes
