Question
The time it takes a wholesaler to fill an order follows a uniform distribution from three to six days What is the probability that they will fill an order between day 3 and 5?
Solution
The uniform distribution has a constant probability. The total range of days is 6 - 3 = 3 days. The range of interest is 5 - 3 = 2 days. The probability is therefore the range of interest divided by the total range, which is 2/3 or approximately 0.67. So, there is a 67% chance that the wholesaler will fill an order between day 3 and 5.
