A man and a woman agree to meet at a cafe about noon. If the man arrives at a time uniformly distributed between 11:35 and 12:10 and if the woman independently arrives at a time uniformly distributed between 11:55 and 12:55, what is the probability that the first to arrive waits no longer than 15 minutes?

Each day, two students, Xavier and Yolanda, arrive independently at McDonalds for lunch at a random time between noon and 1 p.m. Let X be the time that Xavier arrives (in minutes after 12 p.m.) and Y be the time that Yolanda arrives (in minutes after 12 p.m.). X and Y are independent Uniform(a=0,b=60) random variables. all answers to 3 decimal places a) FInd the joint p.d.f. of X and Y, then find it at f(15,25) b) If both Xavier...

John and Jane are working on a project, and all of their project meetings are scheduled to start at 9:00. John always arrives promptly at 9:00. Jane is highly disorganized and arrives at a time that is uniformly distributed between 8:25 and 10:35. The time (measured in minutes, a real number that can take fractional values) between 8:25 and the time Jane arrives is thus a continuous, uniformly distributed random variable. What is the expected duration of time (measured in...

Bob and Alice plan to meet between noon and 1 pm for lunch at the cafeteria. Bob’s arrival time, denoted by X, measured in minutes after 12 noon, is a uniform random variable between 0 and 60 minutes. The same for Alice’s arrival time, denoted byY.Bob’s and Alice’s arrival times are independent. We are interested in the waiting time W=|X−Y|. i. What is the probability that W≤10 if X= 15? ii. What is the probability that W≤10 if X= 5?...
