The time it takes me to wash the dishes is uniformly distributed between 10 minutes and 15 minutes. What is the probability that washing dishes tonight will take me between 12 and 14 minutes

The probability that washing dishes tonight will take me between 12 and 14 minutes is 0.1333.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X represent the time it takes to wash the dishes.

The random variable X is uniformly distributed with parameters a = 10 minutes and b = 15 minutes.

The probability density function of X is as follows:

Compute the probability that washing dishes will take between 12 and 14 minutes as follows:

Thus, the probability that washing dishes tonight will take me between 12 and 14 minutes is 0.1333.

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560
