the amount of time it takes hugo to solve a rubik's cube is continuous and uniformly distributed between 4.5 minutes and 12.5 minutes. what is the probability that it takes hugo less than 8 minutes to solve a rubik's cube?

Sagot :

The probability that hugo will solve rubik's cube in less than 8 minutes is 0.4375.

We have given that,

the amount of time it takes hugo to solve a rubik's cube is continuous and uniformly distributed between 4.5 minutes and 12.5 minutes.

i.e. a = 4.5 and b = 12.5

The probability that we find a value of X lower than x is given by the f

P(X < x) = [tex]\frac{x-a}{b-a}[/tex]

We have to find probability that it takes hugo less than 8 minutes to solve rubik's cube.

Therefore

P(X < 8) =  [tex]\frac{8-4.5}{12.5-4.5}[/tex]

             = [tex]\frac{3.5}{8}[/tex]

P(X < 8) = 0.4375

Hence the probability that it takes hugo less than 8 minutes to solve a rubik's cube is 0.4375%.

The uniform continuous distribution is one of the simplest probability distributions in statistics. Is is a continuous distribution, this means that it takes values within a specified range. A continuous uniform distribution takes values in a range [a,b].
