Answer

Expected arrival time: 2.00 Probability (less than minutes): 1.000 Probability (more than minutes): 0.000

Explanation

1. Calculate the expected arrival time For a uniform distribution over , the expected value is the midpoint. **Expected Value = \frac{a + b}{2}** where and . So, .2. Calculate probability for arrival in less than minutes Convert to decimal: . Probability is area under the curve from to . Since , it covers the entire interval. **Probability = \frac{\text{Length of Interval}}{\text{Total Length}} = \frac{4}{4} = 1**.3. Calculate probability for wait more than minutes Since exceeds the interval , probability is zero. **Probability = \frac{\text{Length of Interval beyond 4}}{\text{Total Length}} = \frac{0}{4} = 0**.
