The time it takes me to wash the dishes is uniformly distributed between 7 minutes and 16 minutes. What is the probability that washing dishes tonight will take me between 8 and 15 minutes?

Sagot :

Answer as a fraction = 7/9 which is exact

Answer in decimal form = 0.778 which is approximate

=========================================================

Explanation:

The time gap from 8 to 15 is 15-8 = 7 minutes.

The time gap from 7 to 16 is 16-7 = 9 minutes.

Divide those differences: 7/9 = 0.778 approximately

The 7's go on forever, but rounding at some point will bump the last 7 to an 8.
