The probability P(c < x < d) is the area under the curve, above the x-axis, and:
ARight of c, left of d
BLeft of c, right of d
CRight of both c and d
DLeft of both c and d
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Right of c, left of d
1. Interval probability is read off the picture directly.
2. P(c < x < d) is the area under the curve, above the x-axis.
3. That area lies to the right of c and to the left of d.
4. It is the strip of the curve between the two values.
