Given that a train arrives at a train station every hour (1:20, 2:20, 3:20 etc.) and that I go to the train station from 1:00 to 2:00 how much time do I wait?
If you go to the edit page you can see this better. I am not sure how to get wiki to show this the way I want it to. If you know how please feel free to fix it.
x= time I arrive y= wait time
A={x<=1:20} P[A]=1/3 B={X>=1:20} P[B]=2/3
Theorem of Total Probability fY(y)=fY/A(y)*P[A] + fY/B(y)*P[B]
