Let y be the random variable with the time to hear an owl from your room's open window (in hours). Assume that the probability that you still need to wait to hear the owl after y hours is one of the following: the probability is given by 0. 47e-4y + 0.52e-5y Find the probability that you need to wait between 2 and 4 hours to hear the owl, compute and display the probability density function graph as well as a histogram by the minute. Compute and display in the graphics the mean, variance, and quartiles of the waiting times. Please pay attention to the various units of time!
