continuously and uniformly between 2 and 22 hours. Determine the probability the
flight time will be:
a)
At least 146 minutes.
b) Airport statistician calculated that the expected time of a flight is greater than the time
shown on the scheduling board. Is she correct? Show work.
c) What is the standard deviation of the flight time?
d) Determine the probability a flight time is within one standard deviation of the
expected flight time.
