A service facility charges a $20 fixed fee plus $25 per hour of service up to 6 hours, and no additional fee is charged for a service visit exceeding 6 hours. Suppose (for now) that the service time T is equally likely to be any time in [0, 10] hours. (Note that T is a continuous random variable.) Let X represent the cost of service in the facility.

A uniform distribution is a continuous probability distribution where every value of X on an interval is equally likely to be the outcome. If X is defined on the interval [a,b], then when graphed the density function for the distribution will be a horizontal line of height with domain [a,b]. Probabilities on a continuous random variable can be determined by calculating the area under the curve of the graph of the density function for the distribution. In general: For a uniform distribution function defined on [a,b] P(X c) = = c-a b-a b-c a P(c 8.8)
