Final answer:
The original question about Jeff Bezos's marathon running time cannot be answered without additional information. Instead, a related and answerable probability question was provided, demonstrating the calculation of the probability of an event within a uniform distribution of times.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question, "What is the probability that Jeff Bezos will complete the marathon at Miami Palmetto High School between twenty-six minutes and thirty-five minutes?" is not one that can be answered without specific context or information about Jeff Bezos's running abilities or the specific conditions of the marathon. Generally, completing a marathon in such a short time is highly unlikely for any individual, as the typical marathon time for professional runners is over two hours. Therefore, without additional context, it is impossible to provide a factually accurate probability.
Instead, let us consider a more standardized question about probability:
For example, if the amount of time a person must wait for a bus is uniformly distributed between zero and 15 minutes, we can calculate the probability of events within this time frame. If we want to find the probability that a person waits fewer than 12.5 minutes, we take the time of interest (12.5 minutes) and divide it by the total possible time (15 minutes), resulting in a probability of 0.8333 or 83.33%.
