Step 1
Given:
The range of uniform distribution is between 5 to 7 years.
The objective is to find the probability of randomly chosen student who will stay at most 6 years.
Step 2 The formula to find the required probability is,
P(X6)=xaba
Here, a, b stands for lower limit and upper limit.
From the given data, a=5 and b=7
Now substitute the obtained values in the formula of probability.
P(X6)=6575
=12
=0.5
Hence, the probability of randomly chosen student who will stay at most 6 years is 0.5.
