The waiting times between a subway departure schedule and the arrival of a passenger are uniformly distributed between 0 and 7 minutes. Find the probability that a randomly selected passenger has a waiting time greater than 3.25 minutes.
Find the probability that a randomly selected passenger has a waiting time greater than 3.25 minutes.
Solution :
Given that,
a = 0
b = 7
P(x > 3.25)
= (7 - 3.25) / (7 - 0)
=- 3.75 / 7
= 0.5357
Probability = 0.5357
