If a point is randomly located in an interval (a, b), and if X denotes the distance of the point from a, then X is assumed to have a uniform distribution over (a, b). A plant efficiency expert randomly picks a spot along a 500-foot assembly line from which to observe work habits. Find the probability that the point she selects is located as follows: Within 25 feet of the end of the line b Within 25 feet of the beginning of the line Closer to the beginning of the line than to the end of the line

Over at NAIA, you are observing the average length of flight delays (excluding flights that leave on time). Your notes for ten randomly chosen days are here: Day Ave. delay (hrs:min) 1 2:00 2 1:48 3 0:19 4 0:25 5 2:18 6 0:43 7 0:13 8 0:17 9 0:34 10 3:12 If the airport claims that the delays will be no more than an hour on average, check his claim by doing the following: (a) Write the null hypothesis. (b) Write the alternative hypothesis. (c) Formulate and calculate the test-statistic. Is it a one-tail or two-tailed test? Did the airport told you the truth at 95% confidence level? (d) Determine the confidence interval
