Answer:
The duration of the randomly selected class is 52.6 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable X is defined as the duration of a professor's class.
It is provided that, [tex]X\sim Unif(49.2, 55.5)[/tex].
The pdf of X is:
[tex]f_{X}(x)=\frac{1}{55.5-49.2};\ 49.2<X<55.5[/tex]
It is provided that the probability that the duration of the class is longer than c number of minutes is 0.468.
That is, P (X > c) = 0.468.
Compute the value of c as follows:
[tex]P(X>c)=0.468\\\\\int\limits^{55.5}_{c}{\frac{1}{55.5-49.2}}=0.468\\\\\frac{1}{6.3}\times [x]^{55.5}_{c}=0.468\\\\55.5-c=2.9484\\\\x=52.5516\\\\x\approx 52.6[/tex]
Thus, the duration of the randomly selected class is 52.6 minutes.
