Step 1: Identify the type of distribution represented in the graph. The graph shows a triangular probability density function (PDF), which is a continuous distribution. The area under the curve represents probabilities.
Step 2: Recognize that the problem asks for the probability P(X < 7.5). This corresponds to the shaded area under the curve from the start of the distribution (x = 2.5) to x = 7.5.
Step 3: Break the shaded area into geometric shapes for calculation. The shaded region forms a triangle. The base of the triangle is from x = 2.5 to x = 7.5, and the height is determined by the value of the PDF at x = 7.5.
Step 4: Use the formula for the area of a triangle: Area = (1/2) × base × height. The base is (7.5 - 2.5 = 5), and the height is the value of the PDF at x = 7.5, which is 0.15.
Step 5: Calculate the area using the formula. This area represents the probability P(X < 7.5). Substitute the values into the formula to find the probability.
