Question

The time spent waiting at a traffic light can be considered a random variable with values from 0 seconds, it’s green when you approach and can go on through, to 30 seconds with the following distribution shape: The image shows a rectangle shaped distribution. Below the lower left corner of the distribution is a 0 and below the lower right corner of the distribution is a 30, which represents a base of length 30. What is the height of this distribution? Express your answer in decimal form using three decimal places. answer to three decimal places:

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0333

Step-by-step explanation:

(image is missing)

Let's assume that the entire are in the distribution curve is 1

Given

Time taken from 0s to 30s = 30s - 0s = 30s

To find height of the distribution?

Let H = the height of the distribution

Based on the above assumption;.

H * 30 = 1 --- make H the subject of formula

H = 1/30

H = 0.0333

Hence, the calculated height of the distribution is 0.0333
