The Kunkel's host a game night every weekend.  The duration of these game nights, typically, last between 90 minutes and 180 minutes.  Assume the durations follow a uniform distribution.  Let the random variable G measure the duration of a randomly selected Kunkel game night. State the distribution of the random variable G. Compute the probability that the Kunkel's game night this weekend lasts between 100 minutes and 120 minutes.   True or False:  P(G=120)=0.011?
