The area under a complete density curve is equal to 1. So, the percent of the total area under a portion of the curve is equal to the area under that part of the curve.

We are looking for the area under the density curve when x < 1.

We can use the area formula for a triangle to find this area:


Area = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height = \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 0.1 = 0.05




So the percent of the area under the density curve where x \lt 1 is 5%.
