Four people working independently on an assembly line all perform the same task. The time (in minutes) to complete this task for person i, for i=1,2,3,4, has a uniform distribution on the interval [0, i]. Suppose each person begins the task at the same time.
- a) What is the probability that person 2 takes less than 90 seconds to complete the task?
- b) What is the average completion time for each person?
- c) What is the probability that all four people complete the task in less than 30 seconds?
- d) What is the probability that exactly one person completes the task in less than 1 minute?

1. The planning fallacy is the tendency that people estimate the time required for the completion of a project to be shorter than it really is. To test whether people in your company exhibit planning fallacy, a sample of 36 workers was selected. The workers were asked how long it would take them to perform a certain task. Their answer was 40 minutes. Then, they were asked to perform the task. The time they needed to complete it had mean...
