Suppose the heights of the tulips in the greenhouse of Rotterdam's Fantastic Flora follow a continuous uniform distribution with a lower bound of 7 inches and an upper bound of 16 inches. You have come to the greenhouse to select a bouquet of tulips, but only tulips with a height greater than 10 inches may be selected.
a) What is the probability that a randomly selected tulip is tall enough to pick?
b) Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the distribution of the heights of the tulips
