A service facility charges a $20 fixed fee plus $25 per hour of service up to 6 hours, and no additional fee is charged for a service visit exceeding 6 hours. Suppose (for now) that the service time T is equally likely to be any time in [0, 10] hours. (Note that T is a continuous random variable.) Let X represent the cost of service in the facility.

Continuous Random Variables take on all possible values in an interval of numbers. The probability distribution of X is described by a density curve. The probability of any event is the area under the density curve and above the values of X that makes up that area. • Area under a density curve = Example: 2 1
