The time it takes for a motorist to press the brakes after seeing a red light...
The time it takes for a motorist to press the brakes after seeing a red light is uniformly distributed between 1 and 3 seconds. Find the probability that it takes less than 2 seconds for a randomly selected motorist to press the brakes after seeing a red light.
Homework Answers
Solution :
Given that,
a = 1
b = 3
P(x < c) = (c - a) / (b - a)
P(x < 2) = (2 - 1) / (3- 1) =0.5
probability =0.5

Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. When the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. The blue car accelerates uniformly at a rate of 5.6 m/s2 for 3 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 7.8 seconds, before applying the brakes such that the car’s speed decreases uniformly coming to rest 178.16 meters from where it started. The yellow car accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the blue car just as the...

Suppose the time it takes a barber to complete a haircuts is uniformly distributed between 8 and 22 minutes, inclusive. Let X = the time, in minutes, it takes a barber to complete a haircut. Then X ~ U (8, 22). Find the probability that a randomly selected barber needs at least 14 minutes to complete the haircut, P(x > 14) (answer to 4 decimal places)
