The scheduled arrival time for a daily flight from Boston to New York is 9:35 am. Historical data show that the arrival time follows the continuous uniform distribution with an early arrival time of 9:18 am and a late arrival time of 9:41 am.

After converting the time data to a minute scale, calculate the mean and the standard deviation for the distribution.

The mean is 11.5 minutes and the standard deviation is of 6.64 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The mean is:

The standard deviation is:

Arrival time of 9:18 am and a late arrival time of 9:41 am.

9:41 is 23 minutes from 9:18. So the time is uniformily distributed between 0 and 23 minutes, so a = 0, b = 23.

Mean:

Standard deviation:

The mean is 11.5 minutes and the standard deviation is of 6.64 minutes

the answer to the question is a

step-by-step explanation:

it has the same slope and the same y-intercept.

y + 11 = -7/9(x - 18)

y + 11 =-7/9x + 14

b

y = -7/9x + 3

y-intercept (0, 3)
