Question

During certain time periods at a hospital, patients arriving at the emergency room have waiting times that are uniformly distributed between 0 and 7 minutes. Assume that a patient is randomly selected, and find the probability that the waiting time is greater than 3.25 minutes.

Find the probability that a randomly selected patient has a waiting time greater than 3.25 minutes.

(Simplify your answer. Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Explanation / Answer

This is a case of uniform distribution where a=0 and b is 7

P(x>3.25)=(7-3.25)/(7-0)=0.536 because P(x>p)=(b-p)/(b-a)
