Chapter 6.1, Problem 3E

Cincinnati to Tampa Flight Time. Delta Airlines quotes a flight time of 2 hours, 5 minutes for its flights from Cincinnati to Tampa. Suppose we believe that actual flight times are uniformly distributed between 2 hours and 2 hours, 20 minutes.

  1. Show the graph of the probability density function for flight time.
  2. What is the probability that the flight will be no more than 5 minutes late?
  3. What is the probability that the flight will be more than 10 minutes late?
  4. What is the expected flight time?
