STK110 Preparation sheet: TUT 7A memo 2023Question 1
At the end of a rugby match, the game can be extended into injury time. The injury
time that is incurred is uniformly distributed between 0 and 10 minutes.
Let: 𝑥 the amount of injury time in minutes that is incurred at the end of a match.
𝑥̅ the average amount of injury time in minutes that is incurred at the end of a match
for 30 matches.
