A) What is the probability that the game willcut into the next show, that is go past 5:00?
B) If the game is over before 4:30, anotherhalf-hour show can be inserted into the 4:30-5:00 slot. What is theprobability of this occurring?
HINT: In Part a you are asked, “What is the probabilitythat the game will run longer than…” InPart b you are asked, “What is the probability that the gamewill run shorter than…” Hence you need tobe careful of whether you want to look at the right tail or theleft tail of the distribution.
