Question 1078553: a machine is set to pump cleanser into process at the rate of 5 gallons per minute. upon inspection it is learned that the machine actually pumps cleanser at a rate described by the uniform distribution over the interval 4.5 to 7.5 gallons per minute. find the probability that between 5.0 gallons and 6.0 gallons are pumped during a randomly selected minute
