Studies have shown that the amount of time from when a person sees an accident to the time they use their cell phone to call 911 is uniformly distributed between a and 30 seconds. If the Interquartile Range of the times is 10 seconds, what is the value of a? A. 20 seconds B. 30 seconds C. 10 seconds D. 5 seconds

The time between calls to an emergency 911 call center is exponentially distributed with a mean time between calls of 645 seconds. Based on this information, what is the probability that the time between the next two calls is between 200 and 400 seconds? Select one: A. About 0.196 B. Approximately 0.47 C. About 0.747 D. None of the above.

The average time it takes an emergency service to respond to calls in a certain municipality is 13 minutes. If the standard deviation is 3 minutes, find the probability that for a randomly selected call, a) the service takes less than 10 minutes. b) the service takes between 12 and 15 minutes Assume the times are normally distributed.

The reaction time to a certain psychological experiment is normally distributed with a mean of 25 seconds and a standard deviation of 3 seconds. (a) What is the probability that a subject has a reaction time between 14 and 30 seconds? (b) What percentage of subjects have reaction times over 14 seconds? (d) What is the reaction time such that only 2% of all subjects are faster? (e) Find the interquartile range of the reaction time.
