A service facility charges a $20 fixed fee plus $25 per hour of service up to 6 hours, and no additional fee is charged for a service visit exceeding 6 hours. Suppose (for now) that the service time T is equally likely to be any time in [0, 10] hours. (Note that T is a continuous random variable.) Let X represent the cost of service in the facility.
