Q2) At an ocean side nuclear power plant, seawater is used as part of the cooling system. This raises the temperature of the water that is discharged back into the ocean. The amount that the water temperature is raised has a uniform distribution over the interval from 10° to 30° C. (25 points)
Write the pdf (f (x))
What is the probability that the temperature increase will be less than 20° C?
What is the probability that the temperature increase will be between 20° C and 〖25〗^(0 ) C?
Q3) Suppose that the times required for a cable company to fix cable problems in its customers’ homes are normally distributed with mean 40 minutes and standard deviation 10 minutes. (use megastat) (45 points)
