My bus is scheduled to depart at noon. However, we're in Randomland, and this means the departure time varies randomly with average departure time 12 o'clock and a standard deviation of 6 minutes. Assume the departure time is normally distributed. If I get to the bus stop 5 minutes past noon, what is the probability that the bus has not yet departed?
