Answer: 0.5625

Explanation:

Given : The waiting times between a subway departure schedule and the arrival of a passenger are uniformly distributed between 0 and 8 minutes.

The density function for uniform distribution :-


f(x)=(1)/(8-0)=(1)/(8)

The required interval : (3.25,8)=8-3.5=4.5

The probability that a randomly selected passenger has a waiting time greater than 3.25 minutes is given by :-


=(4.5)/(3.25)=0.5625

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected passenger has a waiting time greater than 3.25 minutes
