No, im not handing out pvc nurses outfits, sorry to get your hopes up :P

Just need some help with a stats question.

If T is the time in minutes that bob waits at a bus stop
T~U(0,5)
Image


He gets the bus once on monday and once on tuesday.
What is the probability he will wait for less than 4 minutes in total for both days?

Ive been trying to do it for like 3 hours now, but im none the wiser, my lecteur notes dont have any examples on it.

You wanna put some axis labels on there?

I have absolutely no idea what your question is about at the moment so clarify a little, a list of variables and values would be nice :D

I'm not entirely sure but do you mean that the probability of him waiting for any discrete length of time, t, is 0.2 on any given day? Ie. 0.2 that he will wait 1 minute, 0.2 that he will wait 2 minutes and so on...

Or is it a continuous probability density function?
