Solution

Step 1: Understand the distribution

The time Kelly uses her phone is uniformly distributed between 48 and 85 minutes. This means that every minute between 48 and 85 is equally likely.

Step 2: Calculate the total range of the distribution

The total range of the distribution is 85 - 48 = 37 minutes.

Step 3: Calculate the probability for Monday

We want to find the probability that Kelly used her phone for more than 61 minutes. This means we are interested in the range from 61 to 85 minutes, which is 85 - 61 = 24 minutes. The probability is then 24/37 = 0.6486 or 64.86%.

Step 4: Calculate the probability for Wednesday

We want to find the probability that Kelly used her phone between 53 and 76 minutes. This means we are interested in the range from 53 to 76 minutes, which is 76 - 53 = 23 minutes. The probability is then 23/37 = 0.6216 or 62.16%.

Step 5: Calculate the total probability

Since the events are independent, we can simply add the probabilities together. However, we need to be careful not to double count the overlap between the two events (i.e., the time between 61 and 76 minutes).

The overlap is 76 - 61 = 15 minutes, with a probability of 15/37 = 0.4054 or 40.54%.

So, the total probability is 0.6486 + 0.6216 - 0.4054 = 0.8648 or 86.48%.

So, the probability that Kelly used her phone for more than 61 minutes on Monday or between 53 and 76 minutes on Wednesday is approximately 86.48%.

Marlene has noticed that she spends a lot of time in front of a screen. She spends all day working in front of a computer screen, she spends time relaxing and watching her favourite shows in front of a TV screen and before she goes to sleep she spends time looking at things on her phone screen. Marlene thinks she should probably cut down on the time she spends on her phone before going to sleep. On any given night, Marlene believes that the amount of time she spends on her phone is uniformly distributed between 41.3 and 73.4 minutes. Assume that the amount of time Marlene spends on her phone is independent from night to night.
