Submitted : Fall 2018

The problem proposed was if we throw a ball at the arch above the window what is the probability that X will fall in interval P(-1<X<1). If we denote X in inches, then X is a continuous random variable. Therefore, we acquired the function of the curve of the arch and set it to the interval P(-1<X<1). Using continuous random variable method of solving solutions found in calculus textbook sections 12.5. Concluded the probability of when X, or ball, will fall in interval P(-1<X<1).
