The waiting time Y until delivery of a new component for a data-processing unit is uniformly distributed

Question:

The waiting time Y until delivery of a new component for a data-processing unit is uniformly distributed over the interval from 1 to 5 days. The cost C (in hundreds of dollars) of this delay to the purchaser is given by C = (2Y2 + 3). Find the probability that the cost of delay is at least $2,000, i.e., compute P(C ≥ 20).
