Explain your answer.arrow_forwardsolve the followingarrow_forwardYou are to wait at a bus stop for the bus to arrive. The bus arrives every 30 minutes, but you do not know the exact time (in minutes) it will take to arrive. Thus, you can wait any time (continuous) between 0 and 30 minutes, and you believe all wait times are equally likely. Let X be the random variable of the amount of time in minutes you will wait for the bus. a. What distribution can be used for the random variable X? b. What is the probability that you wait exactly 5 minutes? What is the probability that you wait exactly 5 or 10 minutes? c. What is the probability that you wait more than 20 minutes?arrow_forward
