A bus arrives every 10 minutes at a bus stop. It is assumed that the waiting time for a particular individual is a random variable with a continuous uniform distribution. (a) What is the probability that the individual waits more than 5 minutes? (b) What is the probability that the individual waits between 2 and 5 minutes? (a) The probability is (Simplify your answer.)
