The ribbon-cutting ceremony for acme�s new corporate headquarters is
to be held tomorrow afternoon. suppose the ribbon is tied between two
posts set 8 feet apart. let x be the distance from the left post where the
ceo decides to make the cut. assuming this is done at random, x
follows a uniform distribution on the interval from 0 to 8.
find the probability the ceo makes his cut somewhere between 2 feet and 5 feet from the left post.
