A bus comes by every 12 minutes. The times from when a person arrives at the bus stop until the bus arrives follows a uniform di

stribution from 0 to 12 minutes. A person arrives at the bus stop at a randomly selected time. Round to 4 decimal places where possible.
a) What is the mean of this distribution?
b) What is the standard deviation?
c) What is the probability that the person will wait more than 5 minutes?
d) Suppose that the person has already been waiting for 2.8 minutes. Find the probability that the person's total waiting time will be between 3.4 and 5.7 minutes.
e) 10% of all customers wait at least how long for the train?

Answer:

a. The mean of uniform distribution is (a+b)/2, where a and b are limits of the uniform distribution.  So, mean is (0+12)/2 = 6 minutes

b. Standard deviation is (a-b)^2/12 = (0-12)^2/12 = (-12^2)/12 = 144/12 = 12

c. Prob (Wait for more than 5 min) = (12-5)/(12-0) = 7/12 = 0.5833

d. So, given he has waited for 2.8 minutes, what is prob that he will wait between 3.4 and 5.7 minutes

= (5.7 - 3.4) / ((12-2.8) - 0)  

= (5.7 - 3.4) / (9.2 - 0)

= 2.3/9.2

= 0.25

e. 10% of all customers wait at least how long for the train?

10% of all customers wait for?

Since its a uniform distribution, people are uniformly spread. So, the 10% of people will be in the top 10% percentile group of waiting time which essentially means:

0.10 = (12-b)/(12-0)

0.10 = (12-b)/12

1.2 = 12 - b

b = 12 - 1.2

b = 10.8 minutes

So, 10% of all customers wait for at least 10.8 minutes for the train.

Find the missing angle thank you
Maksim231197 [3]
Straight lines will always add up to 180 degrees, so the angle that is missing here is supplementary to the other angle(adds up with the other angle to get 180) so we take 79 away from 180 and get 101 degrees
