A person arrives at a bus stop each morning. The waiting time, in minutes, for a bus to arrive is uniformly distributed on the interval (0,15).
a. What is the probability that the waiting time is less than 5 minutes?
b. Suppose the waiting times on different mornings are independent. What is the probability that the waiting time is less than 5 minutes on exactly 4 of 10 mornings?

If a person takes the bus 30 times a month commuting between his dorm and the Dining Hall. It takes the bus 10 minutes to run one loop. The waiting time, in minutes, for a bus to arrive is uniformly distributed on the interval [0, 10]. Suppose that waiting times on different occasions are independent. What is the standard deviation of the mean waiting time in minutes of a month? Round your answer to three decimal digits. What is the...

5. Suppose that a person commutes to work by bus. The person arrives at the bus stop at the same time every day. The waiting time is uniformly distributed from 5-10 minutes. a) What is the probability that the person waits between 5 minutes and 15 seconds to 7 minutes and 30 seconds? b) What is the probability that the person waits more than 7 minutes and 45 seconds?

For a passenger who arrives at a certain bus stop at a random moment in time, the time spent waiting for the bus is uniformly distributed from 0 to 9 minutes. What is the probability someone who arrives at this bus stop at a random moment will wait at least 7 minutes for the bus? (Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.)

2. The 46A bus leaves the terminus every 10 minutes exactly. For this reason, for any individual who arrives at a bus stop on the route, his minimum waiting time is 0 minutes and his maximum waiting time is 10 minutes, and between these two times, all possible waiting times are equally likely. Write down the probability density function for waiting times on the bus route and draw the distribution. What is the expected waiting time? What is the standard...
