Question 1183804: Please help. A calculus professor plans classes so carefully that the length of his classes is uniformly distributed between 100.0 min. and 105.0 min. Let x be the random variable representing the length of his randomly selected class. Find the probability the class is greater than 103 min. Answer by ikleyn(52838) (Show Source):

Please help. A calculus professor plans classes so carefully that the length of his classes is uniformly distributed
between 100.0 min. and 105.0 min. Let x be the random variable representing the length of his randomly selected class.
Find the probability the class is greater than 103 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.
