Let x have a uniform distribution on the interval 0 to 10. Find the probability.
P(4 < x < 9)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

This given interval under the consideration, from 4 to 9, is entirely inside
the base interval from 0 to 10.


Therefore, the probability under the problem's question is the length 
of the interval [4,9] related to the length of the base interval [0,10]

    P =  =  =  = 0.5 = 50%.    ANSWER


It is how the uniform distribution works.

Solved.
