The amount of time in minutes that it takes for a randomly selected customer to finish checking out their groceries is a continuous uniform random variable (that is to say it follows a uniform distribution) on the interval 0 to 5 minutes. That is to say that f(x)=1/5=0.2 for x in (0,5) and 0 otherwise.
