In: Statistics and Probability
The waiting times between a subway departure schedule and the arrival of a passenger are uniformly distributed between 0 0 and 8 8 minutes. Find the probability that a randomly selected passenger has a waiting time greater than greater than 2.25 2.25 minutes. Find the probability that a randomly selected passenger has a waiting time greater than greater than 2.25 2.25 minutes.
Solution :
Given that,
a = 0
b = 8
P(x > 2.25) = (8 - 2.25) / (8 - 0) = 0.71875
Probability = 0.71825
