Q:
What type of probability distribution (uniform, binomial, geometric or hypergeometric) for the event "predicting the waiting time when standing in a line at the theatre"? Explain why you chose that.

A:
The Binomial, Geometric, and Hypergeometric distributions are all discrete random variables.
The Uniform distribution is a continuous random variable, therefore the possible distribution of waiting time is Uniform.
