A particular employee arrives at work sometime between 8:00 a.m. and 8:40 a.m. Based on past experience the company has determined that the employee is equally likely to arrive at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 8:40 a.m. Find the probability that the employee will arrive between 8:05 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.

Engineers want to design seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit ​95% of all males.​ (Accommodating 100% of males would require very wide seats that would be much too​ expensive.) Men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.4 in. and a standard deviation of 1.2 in. Find P95. That​ is, find the hip breadth for men that separates the smallest ​95% from the largest 5​%.
