The time required to play a certain game is uniformly distributed between 30 and 60 minutes Complete parts a through c below a. Find the expected value and variance of the time to complete the game The expected value of the time to complete the game is 45 minutes (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed The variance of the time to complete the game is 75 (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed ) b. What is the probability of finishing within 46 minutes? (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed )

Suppose that the time it takes a data collection operator to fill out an electronic form for a database is uniformly between 1.5 and 2.2 minutes. (a) What are the mean and variance of the time it takes an operator to fill out the form? (b) What is the probability that it will take less than two minutes to fill out the form? (c) Determine the cumulative distribution function of the time it takes to fill out the form.
