Answer:

#See solution for details

Explanation:

a.Given that the cumulative distribution function for heights is
F(x).

Also given the cumulative distributions F(7)=0.6

-F(7)=06 is signifies that the fraction of trees less than 7 meters in height is 0.6 .

b .Which is greater, F(7) or F(6):

-We note that the cumulative distribution function
F(t) increases with increasing values of
t.

-Hence F(7) is greater than F(6),
F(7)>F(6), that is to say the the fraction of trees of height less than 7 meters is higher than the fraction of trees less than 6 meters.
