Chicago quickly. The executive’s employer has offered to buy the house for $210,000, but
the offer expires at the end of the week. The executive does not currently have a better offer
but can afford to leave the house on the market for another month. From conversations with her realtor, the executive believes the price she will get by leaving the house on the market
for another month is uniformly distributed between $200,000 and $225,000.
a. If she leaves the house on the market for another month, what is the mathematical expression
for the probability density function of the sales price?
b. If she leaves it on the market for another month, what is the probability she will get at
least $215,000 for the house?
c. If she leaves it on the market for another month, what is the probability she will get
less than $210,000?
