Given information
Use the following information to answer the next eight exercises. A distribution is given as 
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The notation of the uniform distribution is,
,
Where, 
is the lowest value of 
and 
is the highest value of .
The probability density function is as follows:
for 
.
According to the given information, the distribution of 
is uniform with parameters 
and 
, in mathematical terms
.
Substituting the values of and , we get
where 
.
The height of the distribution is 
.
Since, forty percent fall below the 
percentile, therefore
,
The base of the rectangle is 
.
The formula of the area of the rectangle is given by,
Substitute for base and for height in the above-mentioned formula.
The area of the rectangle is,
Therefore, the percentile is
