Question
**3.4.2** Assume that \( Y \), the number of minutes it takes you to eat lunch on an average day, is equally likely to lie in the interval from 30 to 40 minutes. Compute \( M_Y(t) \).

(Note: The image contains text related to a mathematical or statistical problem involving a continuous uniform distribution, where \( Y \) is a random variable and \( M_Y(t) \) represents the moment-generating function of \( Y \). There are no graphs or diagrams accompanying this text.)
