At the end of the day, buses will stop every 30 minutes. But because delays often occur earlier in the day, the bus is never early and likely to be late. The director of the bus line claims that the length of time the bus is late is uniformly distributed between 0 minutes and 15 minutes. What is the probability that on any given day the bus will be more than 13 minutes late?
