Question

Flights approaching major airports in the US during peak hours often experience
delays in landing due to air traffic congestion. You will often hear announcements from the
pilot that sound like this - “… we expect to land at 5:25PM subject to air traffic delays”.
Assume that flights flying in to an airport during peak hours are subject to delays that are
uniformly distributed between 10 and 45 minutes. [Be sure to show your calculations for
parts (b) through (f).]

e. What is the probability that a flight will be delayed between 30 and 40 minutes?
f. What is the probability a flight will be delayed more than 50 minutes?
