Problem: You are finishing your laundry, and have put a load of laundry into the dryer. The total time needed to dry a load of laundry varies evenly from 55 minutes to 92 minutes. Assume drying time for each load of laundry is independent of the others.
Required:
Question 1: Identify the distribution and parameter(s) of the amount of time it takes to dry a load of laundry.
Question 2: You are in a rush to finish your laundry. Calculate the probability that it takes more than 68 minutes to dry a load of laundry.
Question 3: If it is known that a load of laundry took no more than 85 minutes, what is the probability that the load took at least one hour?
Question 4: How much time do you expect it will take to dry a load of laundry?
Question 5: You have had a busy week, and have two loads of laundry to dry. Calculate the probability that first load dries in less than 73 minutes and the second load takes at least 89 minutes to dry.
