The Uniform Distribution · Exercise 32
For each probability and percentile problem, draw the picture.
A subway train on the Red Line arrives every eight minutes during rush hour. We are interested in the length of time a commuter must wait for a train to arrive. The time follows a uniform distribution.
(a) Define the random variable. X = _______
(b) Graph the probability distribution.
(c) f(x) = _______
(d) μ = _______
(e) σ = _______
(f) Find the probability that the commuter waits less than one minute.
(g) Find the probability that the commuter waits between three and four minutes.
