The annual increase in height of cedar trees is believed to be distributed uniformly between six and eleven inches. Find the probability that a randomly selected cedar tree will grow less than 9 inches in a given year. Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.

Let X= the number of inches a randomly selected cedar tree grows in a given year. The probability of a random variable is given by the area under the probability density function. For the uniform distribution, the probability is simply calculated using the formula for the area of a rectangle. Area=Width⋅Height According to the uniform probability density function f(x)=1/b−a. Therefore, Height = 1/b−a = 1/11−6 = 1/5. We are interested in the probability that a cedar tree will grow less than 9 inches, so Width = 9−6 = 3 and Area = Width⋅Height = 3(1/5) = 0.6. Since the probability of observing a uniform random variable is the area under the density function associated with the interval, we calculate the probability that a cedar tree will grow less than 9 inches in a given year as follows. P(X<9) = 0.6
