Continuous Distributions

Instead of the probability of any specific outcome (which is 0) for continuous we can only find the probability over ________________

which of the following is the example of continuous uniform distribution?

• coin

• die

• mass

• temperature

A shuttle train at a busy airport completes a circuit between two terminals every five minutes. What is the probability than a passenger will wait more than three minutes for a shuttle train?

• 2/5

• 1/3

• 6/7

• 1/2

on average, 30 minutes TV-shows have 22 minutes of actual program. Let's assume the probability distribution for number of minutes of actual program is uniformly distributed from a low of 18 minutes to high of 26 minutes.

Q: What is the probability P(x) of the show will have at least 25 minutes of programming?

• 1/7

• 1/6

• 1/8

• 1/9

on average, 30 minutes TV-shows have 22 minutes of actual program. Let's assume the probability distribution for number of minutes of actual program is uniformly distributed from a low of 18 minutes to high of 26 minutes.

Q: What is the probability the show will have between 21 minutes and 25 minutes of programming?

• 1/7

• 1/4

• 1/8

• 1/2

The waiting time for the train that leaves every 30 minutes is uniformly distributed from 0 to 30 minutes. Find the probability that a person arriving at a random time will wait between 10 and 15 minutes.

• 4/8

• 2/3

• 1/6

• 1/3

• 1/2

• 1/3

• 1/5

• 1/4
