Question

The waiting time for a taxi has a uniform distribution between 0 and 10 minutes. What is the probability that the waiting time for this taxi is less than 7 minutes on a given day?

Answer 1

probability is 0.6 or 60%

Explanation:

since the waiting time has a uniform distribution, we can assume that all the values will be equal

thus, because we are given a range between 0 - 10 and told to find the probability that the time is less than 7, it would be 6 and below

so 6/10 = 0.6
