I need help describing a curve:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the density curve normal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The CDF is the above graph, yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is the graph. it doesn't look like it is scewed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait is the graph of the density function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, a normal density curve looks like a bell curve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Integrate it and tell me the area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, it doesn't look like the symmetric curves I am looking at.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The lesson that I had didn't tell us how to integrate them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you not see how you can compute the area under the curve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Draw rectangles and triangles on top of the rectangles to fit the curve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay. The area under the curve is 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So there's your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the mean is less than the median right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep. Thanks for you help!
