(exercise 6.1.3) An airline quotes a travel time of 2 hours and 5 minutes for its flights between two destinations. Suppose that the actual flight times, t, are uniformly distributed between 2 hours and 2 hours and 20 minutes. (a) Show the graph of the probability density function for the random variable t. (b) What is the probability that the flight will be no more than 5 minutes late? (c) What percentage of the flights do we predict to be more than 10 minutes late? (d) What, is the exnected flight time between those two places?
