Question 1035409: You've found that the time that you have to wait for a Metro bus to arrive at your stop is uniformly distributed between 0 and 20 minutes inclusive.
If you've already been waiting for 12 minutes, what's the probability that the bus will arrive in the next 5 minutes?
I tried to 1/(17-0)(5) but got it wrong.
