4. Stuck in Traffic The duration of a campus worker's commute (measured in minutes) is a random variable T such that E(T) = 40 and SD(T) = 15. a) Find the best upper bound you can on P(T ≥ 90). b) Find the smallest t you can so that P(T < t) ≥ 99%.

Mr. Lopez, who commutes daily from his home to UST, finds that on the average trip, one way takes him 25 minutes with a standard deviation of 3.5 minutes. Assume the trips are normally distributed. What is the length of time above which we find the slowest 12% of the trips?

During a professor's office hours, students arrive, on average, every ten minutes. Assume that the distribution of the time between arrivals follows an exponential distribution. Suppose that a student has just left. Only 25% of the time will the professor have to wait approximately how long or longer before the next student shows up?
