1. Arrivals of customers at a certain checkout counter follow a uniform distribution. It is known that during a given 30 minutes period, one customer arrival at the counter. Find the probability that the customer arrived during the last 5 minutes of the 30 minute period. 2. The amount of time in minutes that a person must wait for a bus is uniformly distributed between 0 and 15 minutes, inclusively. (a) What is the probability that a person wait fewer than 12.5 minutes? (b) On the average how long must a person wait? (c) 90% of the time, the time a person must wait falls below which value?
