5. A call centre records the length of time, \(T\) minutes, its customers wait before being connected to an agent. The random variable \(T\) has a cumulative distribution function given by $$\mathrm { F } ( t ) = \left\{ \begin{array} { l r } 0 & t < 0
0.3 t - 0.004 t ^ { 3 } & 0 \leqslant t \leqslant 5
1 & t > 5 \end{array} \right.$$
  1. Find the proportion of customers waiting more than 4 minutes to be connected to an agent.
  2. Given that a customer waits more than 2 minutes to be connected to an agent, find the probability that the customer waits more than 4 minutes.
  3. Show that the upper quartile lies between 2.7 and 2.8 minutes.
  4. Find the mean length of time a customer waits to be connected to an agent.

  1. The continuous random variable \(Y\) has cumulative distribution function given by
$$\mathrm { F } ( y ) = \left\{ \begin{array} { l r } 0 & y < 0
\frac { 1 } { 21 } y ^ { 2 } & 0 \leqslant y \leqslant k
\frac { 2 } { 15 } \left( 6 y - \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 2 } \right) - \frac { 7 } { 5 } & k < y \leqslant 6
1 & y > 6 \end{array} \right.$$
  1. Find \(\mathrm { P } \left( \left. Y < \frac { 1 } { 4 } k \right\rvert \, Y < k \right)\)
  2. Find the value of \(k\)
  3. Use algebraic calculus to find \(\mathrm { E } ( Y )\)
