Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The probability density function of X is:

(b) The value of P (129 ≤ X ≤ 146) is 0.3462.

(c) The probability that a randomly selected flight between the two cities will be at least 3 minutes late is 0.4327.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the flight time between the two cities.

Since the random variable X denotes time interval, the random variable X is continuous.

(a)

The random variable X is Uniformly distributed with parameters a = 10 minutes and b = 154 minutes.

The probability density function of X is:

(b)

Compute the value of P (129 ≤ X ≤ 146) as follows:

Apply continuity correction:

P (129 ≤ X ≤ 146) = P (129 - 0.50 < X < 146 + 0.50)

                           = P (128.50 < X < 146.50)

Thus, the value of P (129 ≤ X ≤ 146) is 0.3462.

(c)

It is provided that a randomly selected flight between the two cities will be at least 3 minutes late, i.e. X ≥ 128 + 3 = 131.

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 131) as follows:

Apply continuity correction:

P (X ≥ 131) = P (X > 131 + 0.50)

                 = P (X > 131.50)

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected flight between the two cities will be at least 3 minutes late is 0.4327.
