Question

The driving time for an individual from his home to the gym

is uniformly distributed between 7 to 19 minutes. Compute the probability that the driving time will be less than 14 minutes

Answer 1

`(800)/(13)` Percent

Explanation:

————————————————————

We first have to divide the individual times it takes to go home, or the times between 7 and 19. Since there are 13 numbers (including 7) between 7 & 19, we know that there is a
`(100)/(13)`% chance of any outcome happening. So, if we have to find the probability of any outcome that occurs below 14 minutes, then there is a
`(800)/(13)` (61.54)% chance that the individual will reach his home between 7-14 minutes.
