Assume that we collect data (time how late the bus was at the end of the day) in related to following problem. A bus is scheduled to stop at a certain stop every half hour. At the end of the day due to delays that often occur earlier in the day, the bus is likely to be late. The director of the bus line claims that the length of time a bus is late at the end of the day is uniformly distributed and the maximum time that a bus is late is 20 minutes. Assume the lateness of the bus on different days are independent. (a) In a randomly selected day, what is the probability this bus is late more than 5 minutes at the end of the day? If we consider consecutive days, what is the probability that the 6h day will be first (b) day this bus is late more than 5 minutes at the end of the day? What is the probability that at least 10 consecutive days there, before a day with this bus is late more than 5 minutes at the end of the day? If a sample of 100 randomly selected days were considered, what is the approximate (d). probability that less than 60 of them will be more than 5 minutes late at the end of each day?
