Math Problem Statement
A spinner from a board game randomly indicates a real number between 0 and 20. The spinner is fair in the sense that it indicates a number in a given interval with the same probability as it indicates a number in any other interval of the same length. (a) Explain why the function f(x) = 0.05 if 0 ≤ x ≤ 20 0 if x < 0 or x > 20 is a probability density function for the spinner's values.
