The probability is approximately 0.14 (14%).

Solución

The washing time is uniformly distributed between 11 and 18 minutes, so every minute within that range is equally likely. The total interval length is 18 - 11 = 7 minutes. The probability that the washing takes between 16 and 17 minutes is the length of that subinterval (1 minute) divided by the total interval length. Thus: Probability = (17 - 16) / 7 ≈ 1/7 ≈ 0.14 So, the probability is approximately 0.14 (or 14%).

The Deep Dive

To find the probability that washing dishes will take between 16 and 17 minutes, we first determine the total range of time, which is 18 - 11 = 7 minutes. Since the distribution is uniform, the probability is calculated as the width of the interval of interest divided by the total range. The interval from 16 to 17 minutes is 1 minute wide. Therefore, the probability is: \[ P(16 \leq T \leq 17) = \frac{1}{7} \approx 0.142857 \] Rounding this to two decimal places gives us a probability of 0.14.
