Answer:

E(x) = 15 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X (waiting time)  has a uniform distribution between the interval [0,30], because it is just as likely that you arrive in any time and then your waiting time is minimum 0 minutes and maximum 30 minutes

The expected value  of a random variable uniform is:

E(x) = \frac{a+b}{2}

      Where a and b are the interval's extremes

Thus

E(x) = \frac{0+30}{2}

E(x) = 15 minutes
