Solution

The probability for a continuous uniform distribution between two points can be calculated using the formula:

P(a < X < b) = (b - a) / (B - A)

where:

  • A and B are the parameters of the distribution (in this case 0 and 23 respectively), and
  • a and b are the points of interest (in this case 2 and 18 respectively).

Substituting the given values into the formula, we get:

P(2 < X < 18) = (18 - 2) / (23 - 0)

This simplifies to:

P(2 < X < 18) = 16 / 23

So, the probability that the random variable X falls between 2 and 18 is 16/23.
