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?

A bus is scheduled to arrive at the bus stop every morning at 8:00 A.M; however, its arrival time is uniformly distributed between 7:55 A.M. and 8:05 A.M. The bus is considered to be on time if it is no more than 3 minutes early or 3 minutes late. Assuming that the bus arrivals are mutually independent for different days, give an approximation of the probability that out of 600 days, the bus is going to be on time more...
For a passenger who arrives at a certain bus stop at a random moment in time,...
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.)

A bus arrives every 11 minutes to a stop. The waiting time for a particular individual is assumed to be a random variable with uniform continuous distribution. What is the probability that the individual waits for more than 6 minutes? Answer using 4 decimals.
