Ryanair provides cheap flights in Europe but prides itself on their on-time record. Ryanair quotes a flight time of 2 hours, 5 minutes. Suppose we believe that actual flight times are uniformly distributed between 2 hours and 2 hours, 20 minutes.

What is the expected flight time in minutes?

Answer:

The expected flight time is 2 hours 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]a = 2\ hours[/tex]

[tex]b = 2\ hours\ 20\ mins[/tex]

Required

The expected flight time

To do this, we simply calculate the mean using:

[tex]Mean = \frac{a + b}{2}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Mean = \frac{2\ hours + 2\ hours\ 20\ mins}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = \frac{4\ hours\ 20\ mins}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 2\ hours\ 10\ mins[/tex]
