Because the probability is uniform (equally likely) between 20 and 100 pounds, the probability distribution is uniform between 80 and 100 pounds, with the value 1/(100-20) = 1/80 chocolates/pound.

Let x =  random variable that represents pounds of chocolate consumed.
Therefore
P(x < 60) = (60 - 20)*(1/80) = 1/2.

Answer: The probability is 1/2.

A store is selling five cans of tomato sauce for $5.25. What is the unit price?
Svetach [21]
The unit price is tantamount to saying the price of each. For this item, we are asked to determine the price of each can. Thus, it can be determined by dividing the price to number of cans.
                           $5.25 / 5 = 1.05
Thus, each can of tomato sauce costs $1.05.
