Suppose that you arrive at a bus stop randomly, so all arrival times are equally likely. The bus arrives regularly every 10 minutes without delay. What is the expected value of your waiting time? Explain. The expected value of the waiting time is minutes. If all arrival times are equally likely, it makes sense that the expected wait time would be the of all possible wait times.
