The time between busses on Stevens Creek Blvd is 12 minutes. Therefore the wait time of a passenger who arrives randomly at a bus stop is uniformly distributed between 0 and 12 minutes. Find the probability that a person randomly arriving at the bus stop to wait for the bus has a wait time of at most 5 minutes.
