Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability of the flight taking more than 7 hours is equal to the probability of the flight taking between 7 and 7.5 hours, which is half of the probability of the entire range between 4.5 and 7.5 hours. Therefore, P(flight takes more than 7 hours) = 0.5*(7.5-7)/(7.5-4.5) = 0.17.
