Chapter 7: Q. 80 (page 434)

Suppose that it is past noon on a delivery day, The probability that a person must wait at least one and half more hours is;
a. $\frac{1}{4}$
b. $\frac{1}{2}$
c. $\frac{3}{4}$
d. $\frac{3}{8}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that a person must wait at least one and half more hours is: $\frac{1}{4}$ .

Therefore, option "a" is the correct answer.

Step by step solution

Given information

Given in the question that, the time to wait a particular rural bus is distributed as uniformly from $0$ to $75$ minutes.

Explanation

According to the information, we observed that the given distribution will follow the uniform distribution as follow:

$X ~ U (0, 75)$

On a delivery day, the waiting time will be 12 P.M to 2. P.M.

Therefore, the probability that a person must wit one and half more hours is given as:

$P (X > 1.5) = 1 - (X 鈮� 1.5)$

$= 1 - [\frac{1.5 - 0}{2}]$

$= \frac{5}{20}$

$= \frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, option 'a' is the correct answer.
