A beacon transmits a signal every 10 minutes (such as 8:20, 8:30, etc.). The time at which a receiver is tuned to detect the beacon is a continuous uniform distribution from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Consider the waiting time until the next signal from the beacon is received. What is the probability that the waiting time is less than 4 minutes?

A credit card company monitors cardholder transaction habits to detect any unusual activity. Suppose that the dollar value of unusual activity for a customer in a month follows a normal distribution with mean $250 and variance $400. What is the probability of $304 to $310 in unusual activity in a month?
