Question:
Pipeline fractures. A group of maintenance engineers are responsible for the proper functioning of a 20-km long gas pipeline. If there is a pipeline failure, they would need to physically inspect the whole stretch to discover the fracture. If X is how far the fracture is from them, X can be modeled as a uniform random variable on the interval from 0 to 20 km.
a) What is the probability that the fracture is found within the first stretch of 5 km?
b) What is the probability that the fracture is found only after inspecting 16 km of the pipeline?

I have 6 years of rich teaching experience in subjects like Mathematics, Accounting, and Entrance Exams preparation. With my experience, I am able to quickly adapt to the student's level of understanding and make the best use of his time.
I focus on teaching concepts along with the applications and what separates me is the connection I create with my students. I am well qualified for working on complex problems and reaching out to the solutions in minimal time. I was also awarded 'The Best Tutor Award' for 2 consecutive years in my previous job.
Hoping to get to work on some really interesting problems here.
