The amount of time it takes Jolyn to wait in line at the bank is continuous and uniformly distributed between 9 minutes and 19 minutes. What is the probability that it takes Jolyn less than 11 minutes given that it takes less than 14 minutes for her to wait in line at the bank? Provide the final answer as a fraction.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value X lower than x or equal is given by the following formula.

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

The amount of time it takes Jolyn to wait in line at the bank is continuous and uniformly distributed between 9 minutes and 19 minutes.

This means that [tex]a = 9, b = 19[/tex]

We know that it takes less than 14 minutes

This means that b = 14.

What is the probability that it takes Jolyn less than 11 minutes given that it takes less than 14 minutes for her to wait in line at the bank?

[tex]P(X \leq 11) = \frac{11 - 9}{14 - 9} = \frac{2}{5}[/tex]
