Suppose the amount of time needed to change the oil in a car is uniformly distributed between 14 minutes and 30 minutes, with a mean of 22 minutes and a standard deviation of 4.6 minutes. Let X represent the amount of time, in minutes, needed to complete a randomly selected oil change. What is the probability that a randomly selected oil change takes at most 20 minutes to complete? Assuming a randomly selected oil change has already taken 18 minutes...
