QUESTION:
Continuous Uniform Distribution. In Exercises 5–8, refer to the continuous uniform distribution depicted in Figure 62 and described in Example 1. Assume that a subway passenger is randomly selected, and find the probability that the waiting time is within the given range.
Greater than 1.25 minutes
ANSWER:
Answer:
Step 1:
Given that, For New York City weekday late-afternoon subway travel from Times Square to the Mets stadium, you can take the #7 train that leaves Times Square every 5 minutes. Given the subway departure schedule and the arrival of a passenger, the waiting time x is between 0 min and 5 min, as described by the uniform distribution depicted in Figure. Note that in Figure, waiting times can be any value between 0 min and 5 min, so it is possible to have a waiting time of 2.33457 min.
