'Your waiting time at a bus stop is Uniform distribution in [0,30] minutes. What is the probability that you wait less than 15 minutes? What is the probability that you wait more than 20 minutes? What is the probability that you wait less than 20 minutes given that you already waited for more than 15 minutes? (Hint: Use the conditional probability formula) What are the expectation; variance and standard deviation of your waiting time?'
