Understanding Uniform Distribution and Probability

The video tutorial explains the concept of uniform distribution using the example of a metro train's waiting time. It introduces random variable notation and demonstrates how to calculate probabilities for different waiting times. The tutorial also shows how to verify these calculations using Desmos, a graphing calculator tool.

What is the time interval during which the city metro train runs every 15 minutes?

• 9 pm to 6 am

• 6 am to 9 am

• 6 pm to 9 pm

• 9 am to 6 pm
