the waiting times between a subway departure schedule and the arrival of a passenger are uniformly distributed between 0 and 8 minutes. find the probability that a randomly selected passenger has a waiting time greater than 4.25 minutes.



Answer :

The probability that a randomly selected passenger has a waiting time greater than 4.25 minutes is 0.5278

The uniform distributed between a and b minutes.

The probability of finding a value above x is:

P(X > x) = [tex]\frac{b-x}{b-a}[/tex]

The time is evenly distributed between 0 and 9 minutes.

This implies that a=0 , b=9

Determine the likelihood that a randomly selected passenger will have to wait longer than 4.25 minutes.

p(X > 4.25) = [tex]\frac{9-4.25}{9-0}[/tex]

                 = 0.5278

There is a 52.78% chance that a randomly selected passenger will have to wait longer than 4.25 minutes.
