a passenger “ae at a local railway platform at 10 am. knowi
that the local train will arrive at some time unifo rmly ee
a 10 am. and 1030 am. What isthe probably hat be i
pave to wait longer than 10 min? If at 10.15 a.m. the train has 7
yet arrived, what is the probability that he will have to wait at least
10 additional minutes ?
Solution : Let X > the waiting for the passenger who has arrived
at the railway platform at 10 a.m.
[! the train arrives at some time uniformly distributed between 10
am. and 10.30 a.m]
X is also uniformly distributed with parameters 0 and 30 minutes
ie X ~ U (0, 30)
