(22) Jesse is on their lunch break, and they will return from lunch at a time uniformlydistributed between 12:30 and 12:50. Let X be the number of minutes after 12:30 whenJesse returns (so X is a uniform random variable).(a) What is the interval of possible values for X?(b) Find the formula for the density function f(x) of X.(c) Find the mean and variance of X (do not compute any integrals).

Consider a group of people who have received treatment for a disease such as cancer. Let t be the survival time, the number of years a person lives after receiving treatment. The density function giving the distribution of t is p(t) = Ce-Ct for some positive constant C, and the cumulative distribution function is P(t) = , p(x)dx. Think carefully about what the practical meaning of P(t) is, being sure that you can put it into words. a) The survival function, S(t), is the probability that a randomly selected person survives for at least t years.
