The Sky Train from the terminal to the rental car and longterm parking center is supposed to arrive every eight minutes. The waiting times for the train are known to follow a uniform distribution. What is the average waiting time (in minutes)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Average waiting time = 4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

From this question, we are told that the sky train is supposed to arrive every 8 minutes.

Thus, the waiting time of the passengers for the train = 8 minutes.

Then, the average waiting time is simply the mean or 50th percentile of the total waiting time.

So, average waiting time = 50% × 8

Average waiting time = 4 minutes
