A nature reserve has one bird of an uncommon species which frequents the large expanse of reed beds there. It is found that if a birdwatcher arrives at the path adjoining the reed beds, the probability that he or she is still waiting there to see the bird a time y later, where y is measured in minutes, is 1-y + y ≥ 0. 3 Find the probability that a birdwatcher spends between 2 and 4 minutes waiting to see the bird, and the mean and variance of the time that he or she waits there.
