The amount of time you have to wait at a particular stoplight is uniformly distributed between zero and 4 minutes Calculate the standard deviation ?
Added by -Ngeles A.
Step 1
First, we need to find the mean or average waiting time at the stoplight. Since the distribution is uniform, the mean is simply the midpoint of the range, which is (0+4)/2 = 2 minutes. Show more…

'The driving time for an individual from his home to his work is uniformly distributed between 300 to 480 seconds. Give mathematical expression for the probability density function_ Compute the probability that the driving time will be less than or equal to 435 seconds_ Determine the expected driving time and its standard deviation.'
