Question

Question 14A The time patients wait in a doctor's office for their appointment follows the uniform distribution between 10 and 35 minutes. The goal of the office manager is to ensure that 80% of the patients wait no more than 25 minutes for their appointment. Is this goal being met? Question 14B) The a continuous uniform random variable will fall between two particular values. (fill-in) A) uniform cumulative distribution function B) uniform probability distribution C) continuous uniform probability density function D) uniform probability density function is used to find the probability that

Explanation / Answer

14A) here for uniform distribution paramter a =10 and b=35

therefore P(patient wait no more than 25 minutes)=P(X<25)=(x-a)/(b-a) =(25-10)/(35-10)=15/25=0.6

as above probability is less than 0.8 ; therefore goal is not being met.

14B) option A is correct.
