Question

The waiting times between a subway departure schedule and the arrival of a passenger are uniformly distributed between 00 and 66 minutes. find the probability that a randomly selected passenger has a waiting time greater thangreater than 3.253.25 minutes. find the probability that a randomly selected passenger has a waiting time greater thangreater than 3.253.25 minutes.

Answer 1

You are given the waiting times between a subway departure schedule and the arrival of a passenger that are uniformly distributed between 0 and 6 minutes. You are asked to find the probability that a randomly selected passenger has a waiting time greater than 3.25 minutes.

Le us denote P as the probability that the randomly selected passenger has a waiting time greater than 3.25 minutes.
P = (length of the shaded region) x (height of the shaded region)
P = (6 - 3.25) * (0.167)
P = 2.75 * 0.167
P = 0.40915
P = 0.41
