a Find the distribution function F(x) for weekly CPU time X.

b Find the probability that CPU time used by the firm will exceed 2 hours for a selected week.

c The current budget of the firm covers only 3 hours of CPU time per week. How often will the budgeted figure be exceeded?

d How much CPU time should be budgeted per week if this figure is to be exceeded with probability only 0.10?
