Example 1

The driving time between Toronto and North Bay is found to be between 195 and 240 minutes. what is the probability that the drive will take less than 210 minutes?

Diagram

we need to find out that ratio of the rectangle from 195 to 210 in relation to the entire rectangle that is 1/45. so, each of these times have a value of 1/45 so, to find the probability it is the probability of the area from 195 to 210 so the probability is 1/3
