Answer:
The probability that washing dishes tonight will take me between 12 and 14 minutes is 0.1333.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable X represent the time it takes to wash the dishes.
The random variable X is uniformly distributed with parameters a = 10 minutes and b = 15 minutes.
The probability density function of X is as follows:
[tex]f_{X}(x)=\frac{1}{b-a};\ a<X<b,\ a<b[/tex]
Compute the probability that washing dishes will take between 12 and 14 minutes as follows:
[tex]P(12\leq X\leq 14)=\int\limits^{12}_{14} {\frac{1}{15-10} \, dx[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1}{5}\int\limits^{12}_{14} {1} \, dx \\\\=\frac{1}{5}\times [x]^{14}_{12}\\\\=\frac{1}{15}\times [14-12]\\\\=\frac{2}{15}\\\\=0.1333[/tex]
Thus, the probability that washing dishes tonight will take me between 12 and 14 minutes is 0.1333.
