Assume that the weight loss for the first month of a diet program varies between 4 pounds and 15 pounds, and is spread evenly over the range of possibilities, so that there is a uniform distribution. Find the probability of loosing less than 10 pounds. Find the probability of loosing more than 10 pounds.
