Question

The waiting times between a subway departure schedule and the arrival of a passenger are uniformly distributed between 0 and 9 minutes. Find the probability that a randomly selected passenger has a waiting time less than 2.75minutes.

Answer 1

Answer:

30.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution is uniform, so the probability is simply the range of times less than 2.75 divided by the total range.

P = (2.75 − 0) / (9 − 0)

P ≈ 0.306
