Delta Airlines quotes a flight time of 2 hours, 5 minutes for its flights from Cincinnati to Tampa. Suppose we believe that actual flight times are uniformly distributed between 2 hours and 2 hours, 20mins.
What is the probablility that the flight will be no more than 5 minutes late?
10 minutes late?
What is the expected flight time?

Given a continuous uniform probability distribution between 2:00 and 2:20, the probablity of arriving no later than 2:10 is 50% and the probablity of arriving no later than 2:15 is 75%. The mean probable arrival time is 2:10.

"What is the probablility that the flight will be no more than 5 minutes late?"
Wiseass answer: 0, becuase believing that actual flight times are uniformly distributed does not make it so.
Useful answer: 1/2
"10 minutes late?"
3/4
"What is the expected flight time?"
