Hi. I need help setting this up for my daughters homework. The question is: Lavon takes a commuter train into the city each day. The train stops every 30 minutes to let passengers on and his ride to the city is 12 minutes long. If he arrives at the stop at 3:00 PM, what is the probability he will get to the city by 3:20 PM?
