Assume that the weight loss for the first month of a diet program varies between 6 pounds and 12 pounds, and is spread evenly over the range of possibilities, so that there is a uniform distribution. Find the probability of the given range of pounds lost. Less than 9 pounds
----
base of the distribution: 12-6 = 6
height of the distribution: 1/6
----
P(6<= x <=9) = base*height = 3*(1/6) = 1/2
