Upon inspection, it is learned that the machine actually pumps cleanser at a rate described by the uniform distribution over the interval 5.5 to 8.5 gallons per minute. Find the probability that between 6.0 gallons and 7.0 gallons are pumped during a randomly selected minute. \n" ); document.write( "

The whole interval is 3 gallons/minute (8.5-5.5)
\n" ); document.write( "the interval of concern is 1 g/min (7-6)
\n" ); document.write( "The probability is 1/3, since it is a uniform function
