A woman leaves for work between 8 AM and 8:30 AM and takes between 40 and 50 minutes to get there. Let the random variable X denote her time of departure, and the random variable Y the travel time. Assuming that these variables are independent and uniformly distributed, find the probability that the woman arrives at work before 9 AM. Referring to Miscellanea 4.9.1. (a) Show that P(X m|M = m) = P(X = 2m|M = m) = 1/2, and verify the
