(3.02) Examining the location of accidents on a level, 5-mile bike path shows that they occur uniformly along the length of the path.
Figure 3.4 displays the density curve that describes the distribution of accidents.

d) The bike path is a paved path through the woods, and there is a road at each end. What proportion of accidents happen more than 1 mile from either road? (Hint: First determine where on the bike path the accident needs to occur to be more than 1 mile from either road, and then find the area.)
