Having nothing else given, an appropriate hypothesis is to assume that we have integer random variable 



    X = "the number of daily sales TVs at Best Buy" 



with random values that are uniformly distributed with the minimum value of 0 and the maximum value of 10 hours.



Then the mean average  is exactly 5 = %280%2B1%2B2%2B3%2B4%2B5%2B6%2B7%2B8%2B9%2B10%29%2F11 = 55%2F11, as the problem states, 

and  the condition becomes "consistent with the given part" and "self-closed".



Then the probability  P(X = 10) = 1%2F11.    ANSWER

Solved.
