The time X (min) for a lab assistant to prepare the equipment for a certain experiment is believed to have a uniform distribution with A = 25 and B =35.

a. Determine the pdf of X and sketch the corresponding density curve.

b. What is the probability that preparation time exceeds 33 min?

c. What is the probability that preparation time is within 2 min of the mean time? [Hint: Identify μ from the graph of f(x).]

d. For any a such that 25 < a < a + 2 < 35, what is the probability that preparation time is between a and a+2 min?
