Question 1174435: Suppose you choose at random a real number X uniformly from the interval [3, 8]. Find the probability that X>6. Answer by ikleyn(52781) (Show Source):
This probability is the ratio of the lengths of two intervals.
One interval is [6,8] of the length 2.
Another interval is [3,8] of the length 5.
So, the answer is P = = 0.4 = 40%. ANSWER
