A hospital receives a pharmaceutical delivery each morning at a time that varies uniformly between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM. a) Find the probability that the delivery on a given morning will occur between 7:15 AM and 7:30 AM. b) What is the expected time and variance of the delivery time? c) Find the probability that the time of delivery will be within 1 standard deviation of the expected time, i.e. P(x-ox ≤ x ≤ μx + 0x).
