A bus arrives every 16 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 12 minutes? (b) What is the probability that the individual waits between 2 and 12 minutes?
