Find the probability that it takes less than five minutes


Travel and Transportation The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency maintains a table of the estimated wait times for reaching the primary inspection booth when crossing the Canada/U.S. border. The processing goal for passenger vehicles is 15 minutes.31 Suppose the time to cross the border at Alexandria Bay is a random variable, X, with probability density function given by
