Question 1184957: The lengths of a professor's classes has a continuous uniform distribution between 50.0 min and 52.0 min. If one such class is randomly selected, find the probability that the class length is between 51.6 and 51.8 min. Round the answer to 3 decimal places.
P(51.6 < X < 51.8) =

.


All you need is to calculate the time duration from 51.6 minutes to 51.8 minutes

and then relate this time difference to 2 minutes,

which is the duration of the base time interval from 50.0 minute to 52.0 minute.

It is how the uniform distribution works.

If you will get hundred of other similar problems, do the same.
