Suppose the time it takes my daugther, Lizzie, to eat an apple is uniformly distributed between 6 and 12 minutes. Let X = the time, in minutes, it takes Lizzie to eat an apple. What is the distribution of X? X ~ (,) Please show the following answers to 4 decimal places. What is the probability that it takes Lizzie less than 5 minutes to finish the next apple? What is the probability that it takes Lizzie more than 10.6 minutes to finish the next apple?

Today, the waves are crashing onto the beach every 5.1 seconds. The times from when a person arrives at the shoreline until a crashing wave is observed follows a Uniform distribution from 0 to 5.1 seconds. Round to 4 decimal places where possible. Suppose that the person has already been standing at the shoreline for 1.2 seconds without a wave crashing in. Find the probability that it will take between 3.8 and 4.7 seconds for the wave to crash onto the shoreline. 46% of the time a person will wait at least how long before the wave crashes in? Find the minimum for the upper quartile.
Today, the waves are crashing onto the beach every 4.8 seconds. The times from when a person arrives at the shoreline until a crashing wave is observed follows a Uniform distribution from 0 to 4.8 seconds. Round to 4 decimal places where possible. The probability that it will take longer than 2.66 seconds for the wave to crash onto the beach after the person arrives is P(x > 2.66) = Suppose that the person has already been standing at the shoreline for 0.4 seconds without a wave crashing in. Find the probability that it will take between 3 and 4.1 seconds for the wave to crash onto the shoreline. 59% of the time a person will wait at least how long before the wave crashes in?
A manufacturer has designed a process to produce pipes that are 10 feet long. The distribution of the pipe length, however, is actually Uniform on the interval 10 feet to 10.57 feet. Assume that the lengths of individual pipes produced by the process are independent. Let X and Y represent the lengths of two different pipes produced by the process. A) What is the probability that the second pipe (with length Y) is more than 0.22 feet longer than the first pipe (with length X)?
Today, the waves are crashing onto the beach every 5.9 seconds. The times from when a person arrives at the shoreline until a crashing wave is observed follows a Uniform distribution from 0 to 5.9 seconds. Round to 4 decimal places where possible. The probability that it will take longer than 4.28 seconds for the wave to crash onto the beach after the person arrives is P(x > 4.28) = Suppose that the person has already been standing at the shoreline for 0.2 seconds without a wave crashing in. Find the probability that it will take between 0.9 and 1.6 seconds for the wave to crash onto the shoreline. 28% of the time a person will wait at least how long before the wave crashes in? seconds.
