A small construction crew in northwestern Canada is about to start road work on a mining road. The work is not too difficult and it will only take one day. Since this road is in a pretty remote area, not many vehicles drive on it. The amount of daily traffic follows a uniform distribution with daily vehicles ranging from 5 to 16. Given this discrete uniform distribution, what is the probability that the number of cars stopped by this construction will be 12 or 13? What is the probability that the construction crew will stop less than 10 cars?
