how to calculate the probability of a uniform distribution in matlab

To calculate the probability of a uniform distribution, you can use the function unifpdf in Matlab, which calculates the probability density function of a uniform distribution at a given point or array of points.

Here's an example of how to calculate the probability of a uniform distribution in Matlab:

main.m
% specify the range and the parameters of the uniform distribution
a = 0; % lower bound
b = 10; % upper bound
x = 5; % calculate the probability at x = 5

% calculate the probability density function at point x
pdf = unifpdf(x, a, b);

% display the result
disp(['Probability density function at x = ' num2str(x) ' is ' num2str(pdf)]);
336 chars
11 lines

This code will output:

main.m
Probability density function at x = 5 is 0.1
45 chars
2 lines

Note that this is the probability density function at a single point x. If you want to calculate the probability of an interval of values, you can use the unifcdf function, which calculates the cumulative distribution function of a uniform distribution.
