    a) 33.33%)

    b) 135 minutes

    c) 8.66 min

    d) 50%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    a) the probability for a uniform distribution is

    P (b
    therefore the probability that the flight is more than 140 minutes (and less than 150 since it is the maximum value)

    P (140
    b) the mean (expected value) for a uniform probability distribution is

    E (X) = (c+d) / 2 = (120+150) / 2 = 135 minutes

    c) the standard deviation for a uniform probability distribution is

    σ² (X) = (c-d) ²/12 = (150-120) ²/12 = 75 min²

    σ = √75 min² = 8.66 min

    b) following the same procedure as in a)

    P (120
