Question 1183805: A continuous random variable has a uniform distribution. Find the probability of the given event.
Suppose the reaction time x (in minutes) of a certain chemical process follows a uniform probability distribution with 5≤x≤15 . Find the probability that the given reaction time is greater than 8 min. Answer by ikleyn(52780) (Show Source):

A continuous random variable has a uniform distribution. Find the probability of the given event.
Suppose the reaction time x (in minutes) of a certain chemical process follows a uniform
probability distribution with 5≤x≤15 . Find the probability that the given reaction time
is greater than 8 min.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As always in such problems, you divide the "favorable" time interval length by the base interval length.
It is how the uniform distribution probability works.

Comment from student : Thank you for your help! I checked the link and I noticed that problem was "less than"
while this one is "greater than). So for either way, they are solved the same?
My response : You are right. The major idea is the same
P = .
The only thing is to take care to calculate the numerator and denominator correctly.
