Suppose That the Distribution of People's Ages in the United

Short Answer

Suppose that the distribution of people's ages in the United States is essentially constant, or uniform, from age 0 to age 60, and from there it decreases linearly until age 100. This distribution p(x) is shown below, where x is age in years, and p measures probability density. Such a probability distribution is called trapezoidal. Find the median age of the United States population.
