The time that it takes for the next train to come follows a Uniform distribution with f(x) =1/15 where x goes between 4 and 19 minutes. Find the probability that the time will be at most 15 minutes.

Answer:

73.33% probability that the time will be at most 15 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value X lower than x is given by the following formula.

[tex]P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}[/tex]

Uniform distribution between 4 and 19 minutes.

This means that [tex]a = 4, b = 19[/tex]

Find the probability that the time will be at most 15 minutes.

[tex]P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 15) = \frac{15 - 4}{19 - 4} = 0.7333[/tex]

73.33% probability that the time will be at most 15 minutes.
