What is the probability of each event?
1) Frederique, who arrives home at 6:42 P.M., is home to receive a call that can come at any time between 6:40 and 6:50.

2) A point on a 12 inch ruler is chosen at random and is located within an inch of an end of the ruler.

3) A number cube is rolled and a number greater than 3 and less than 6 results

Using the uniform probability distribution, it is found that the probabilities are given as follows:

1) 0.8 = 80%.

2) 0.0833 = 8.33%.

3) 0.3333 = 33.33%.

What is the uniform probability distribution?

It is a distribution with two bounds, a and b, in which each outcome is equally as likely.

The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

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

The probability of finding a value between c and d is:

[tex]P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value above x is:

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

Item 1:

10 minute interval, arrives in the 2nd minute, hence:

[tex]P(X > 2) = \frac{10 - 2}{10 - 0} = 0.8[/tex]

Item 2:

Within one inch of the end is greater than 11, hence:

[tex]P(X > 11) = \frac{12 - 11}{12 - 0} = 0.0833[/tex]

Item 3:

2 out of 6 numbers, hence:

p = 2/6 = 1/3 = 0.3333.
