Suppose you want to predict the *actual* wait in line at Flight of Passage @ Animal Kingom.
Say the posted wait is 100 min. You know from data:
50% of the time the wait will be 90 minutes or less
75% of the time the wait will be 120 minutes or less
Which number do you show users: 90 or 120?

Former NBA player Jason Collins announced that he is undergoing treatment for Stage 4 glioblastoma, one of the most severe forms of brain cancer.
“Because my tumor is unresectable ... the average prognosis is only 11 to 14 months,” Collins said.
