Question: We assume that Jim does not try to minimize his waiting time based on past experiences and travels like that 5 days a week, 50

We assume that Jim does not try to minimize his waiting time based on past experiences and travels like that 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year. From past experience, we assume that the time Jim spends waiting for the train at the platform can be modeled via a uniformly distributed random variable and the waiting time lies in the interval from 1 to 2 minutes. What is the expected value of Jim's minimum waiting time in a year, i.e. of minimum waiting time out of 250 attempts to take the train in the morning?
