years.
years) to years.Find the third quartile of ages of cars in the lot. This means you will have to find the value such that 
, or 
, of the cars are at most (less than or equal to) that age.
, or , of the cars are at most (less than or equal to) that age.Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
We know 
is the notation for uniform distribution. Where, 
is the lowest value of 
and 
is the highest value of .
The probability density function is as follows:
where 
.
According to the given information, the distribution of 
is uniform with parameters and , in mathematical terms
Substituting 
, we get
where 
.
It is given that
The third quartile means 75% of the cars are at most (less than or equal to) that age, symbolically, The base of the rectangle is
Therefore,
,
Therefore, the third quartile is
