Question

the uniform distribution over the interval 8.5 to 11.5 gallons per minute. Find the probability that between 9.0 gallons and 10.0 gallons are pumped during a randomly selected minute.

Answer 1

Answer: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question:

machine is set to pump cleanser into a process at the rate of 9 gallons per minute. Upon inspection, it is learned that the machine actually pumps cleanser at a rate described by the uniform distribution over the interval 8.5 to 11.5 gallons per minute. Find the probability that between 9.0 gallons and 10.0 gallons are pumped during a randomly selected minute.

The Probability of the above question will be calculated as:

= (10-9) / (11.5 - 8.5)

= 1/3

The above is the easier way to solve this
