The waiting time for a bus has a uniform distribution between 0 and 8 minutes. What is the 90th percentile of this distribution? (Recall: The 90th percentile divides the distribution into 2 parts so that 90% of area is to the left of 90th percentile) _______ minutes Answer: (Round answer to one decimal place.)

The waiting time for a table at a busy restaurant has a uniform distribution between 0 and 10 minutes. What is the 95th percentile of this distribution? (Recall: The 95th percentile divides the distribution into 2 parts so that 95% of area is to the left of 95th percentile) _______ minutes Answer: (Round answer to one decimal place.)

The time, to the nearest whole minute, that a city bus takes to go from one end of its route to the other has the probability distribution shown. As sometimes happens with probabilities computed as empirical relative frequencies, probabilities in the table add up only to a value other than 1.00 because of round-off error. $$ \frac{\pi}{P(\infty)} \frac{12}{P .100 .330 .340 .250 .050 .02} $$ a. Find the average time the bus takes to drive the length of its route. b. Find the standard deviation of the length of time the bus takes to drive the length of its route.
