What you’ll learn to do: draw and calculate probability for a uniform distribution

A fire drill is equally likely to happen at any time during the 50 minute class period. What is the probability that it happened during the middle 10 minutes of class? To answer this question, you need to know about characteristics of continuous probability distribution functions. There are several types of continuous probability distribution functions, including uniform, exponential and normal distribution functions. Normal distribution functions will be the focus of the next module.
