The space shuttle has a 2-hour window during which it can launch for an upcoming mission. Launch time is uniformly distributed in the launch window. Find the probability that the launch will occur as follows: a During the first 30 minutes of the launch window b During the last 10 minutes of the launch window c Within 10 minutes of the center of the launch window

Solution

1

The Launch window is distributed as X ~ U(0,120)

A

P[X < 30] = (30
