Delta airlines quotes a flight time of 2 hours, 5 minutes for its flights from cincinnati to tampa. suppose we believe that actual flight times are uniformly distributed between 2 hours and 2 hours, 20 minutes. what is the probability that the flight will be no more than 5 minutes late (to 2 decimals) ?

The likelihood that the flight will be no more than 5 minutes late would be equal to a flight that arrives between 2 hours and 2 hours and 10 minutes.

So the answer would be:

P (5 late or less) = 10 * 1/20 = 0.5

The answer is 0.5

But if we are looking for the probability of the flight that would be 10 minutes late, the likelihood of that event would be 0.25.
