The lengths of a professor's classes has a continuous uniform distribution between 49.2 min and 55.5 min. If one such class is randomly selected, find the probability that the class length is more than 53.1 min. PX < 53.1)

Answer:

[tex] P(X>53.1) = 1-\frac{53.1-49.2}{55.5-49.2}= 1-0.619 = 0.381[/tex]

And [tex] P(X<53.1) = 0.619[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable who represent the  lengths of a professor's classes and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

[tex] X \sim Unif (a=49.2, b=55.5)[/tex]

And for this case we want to find the following probability:

[tex] P(X>53.1)= 1- P(x<53.1)[/tex]

We can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

[tex] F(x) =\frac{x-a}{b-a} , a\leq x \leq b[/tex]

And if we use this formula and the complement rule we got :

[tex] P(X>53.1) = 1-\frac{53.1-49.2}{55.5-49.2}= 1-0.619 = 0.381[/tex]

And [tex] P(X<53.1) = 0.619[/tex]
