Suppose the time in seconds it takes your professor to set up their computer to start class is uniformly distributed on the interval [0,30]. Suppose also that it takes you 5 seconds to send your mom a nice, quick text that you are thinking of her. You only text her if you can complete it during the time your professor is setting up their computer. If you try to text your mom every day in class, what is the probability that she will get a text on 3 consecutive days?
