Solve the problem:

Suppose that you wish to find P(-2 < x < 2) for a continuous uniform distribution having a minimum of -3 and a maximum of 3. If you incorrectly assume that the distribution is normal instead of uniform, will your answer be too big, too small, or will you still obtain the correct answer? describe your thinking.

In finding probability in a continuous uniform distribution the area under the graph will still equal 1 but the values are spread evenly over a range of possibilities, so that a graph results in a rectangular shape (p. 251). If it is incorrectly assumed that the distribution is normal instead of uniform, then z scores are used.
