Using the uniform distribution, it is found that there is a 0.3608 = 36.08% probability that the male will lose between 19.41 and 23.74 percent of their body weight.
It is a distribution with two bounds, a and b, in which each outcome is equally as likely.
The probability of finding a value between c and d is:
[tex]P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}[/tex]
In this problem, male black bears will typically drop between 17 to 29 percent of their body weight, hence the bounds are a = 17 and b = 29.
The probability that the male will lose between 19.41 and 23.74 percent of their body weight is given by:
[tex]P(19.41 \leq X \leq 23.74) = \frac{23.74 - 19.41}{29 - 17} = 0.3608[/tex]
