Answer:
The mean of the lengths is 0.35 tenths of millimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
A distribution is called uniform if each outcome has the same probability of happening.
The uniform distributon has two bounds, a and b, and it's mean is given by:
[tex]M = \frac{a+b}{2}[/tex]
The lengths are uniformly distributed with values at every tenth of a millimeter starting at 590.1, and continuing through 590.8.
This means that [tex]a = 0, b = 590.8 - 590.1 = 0.7[/tex]
So, the mean is:
[tex]M = \frac{a+b}{2} = \frac{0 + 0.7}{2} = 0.35[/tex]
The mean of the lengths is 0.35 tenths of millimeters
