for traingular distribution)

c)

P(w< a) =(w-a)2/((b-a)*(m-a))

P(w<10)= 0.12500

d)
 P(w>30) =0.1250

e)P(10<w<30)=P(w<30)-P(w<10)=0.875-0.125 =0.750

Let x and y be the amounts of time (in minutes) that a particular commuter must wait
for a train on two independently selected days. Assume that x and y have a uniform
distribution. Define a new random variable w by wx+y the sum of the two walting
times. The set of possible values for w is the interval from 0 to 40 (because both x
and y can range from 0 to 20). It can be shown that...
