 minutes after doors open

(b) At what time after the doors open will only 13% of the people who are coming to the Saturday show have arrived? (Round your answer to the nearest number of minutes.)
 minutes after doors open

(c) Do you think the probability distribution of arrival times for Friday might be different from the distribution of arrival times for Saturday? Explain your answer.
