1.2. Assume that Billy's driving time to class is uniformly distributed from 15-20 minutes in good weather, and uniformly distributed from 25-30 minutes in bad weather. Let the RV X describe Billy's drive time. If the probability of good weather is 2/3. a) .describe mathematically the PDF of X. b) .describe graphically the PDF of X. c) .find the probability that Billy's drive time is >18 minutes. d) .find the Expected Value of Billy's drive time, irrespective of the weather.

Planetary Velocity The following table gives the mean velocity of planets in their orbits versus their mean distance from the sun. Note that 1AU astronomical unit is the mean distance from Earth to the sun, abut 93 million miles.
