Question 511531: A particular professor never dismisses class early. Let x denote the amount of time past the hour (minutes) that elapses before the professor dismisses class. Suppose that x has a uniform distribution on the interval from 0 to 10 min. The density curve is shown in the following figure.
(a) What is the probability that at most 4 min elapse before dismissal?
(b) What is the probability that between 3 and 7 min elapse before dismissal? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A particular professor never dismisses class early. Let x denote the amount of time past the hour (minutes) that elapses before the professor dismisses class. Suppose that x has a uniform distribution on the interval from 0 to 10 min. The density curve is shown in the following figure.
--------------------------------------
base of distribution: 10
height of distribution: 1/10
--------
(a) What is the probability that at most 4 min elapse before dismissal?
P(0<= x <=4) = base* height = 4*(1/10) = 2/5
------------------------
(b) What is the probability that between 3 and 7 min elapse before dismissal?
P(3<= x <=7) = base*height = 4*(1/10) = 2/5
