A study shows that employees who begin their workday at 9:00 a.m. vary their times of arrival uniformly from 8:40 a.m. to 9:30 a

Answer:

0.2 or 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

If the times of arrival vary uniformly, there is an equal chance of an employee reporting at any given time between 8:40 and 9:30.

The range between 8:40 and 9:30 is 50 minutes.

The range between 9:00 and 9:10 is 10 minutes.

Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen employee reports to work between 9:00 and 9:10 is:

$P(9:00\leq X\leq 9:10)=\frac{10}{50}=0.20=20\%$

The probability is 0.2 or 20%.
