    Since it is equally likely between 40 and 100 lbs, it subscribes to a uniform distribution, where P (x
    x1=20, x2=100 are the lower and upper consumption limits, and

    X=number of pounds consumed.

    Thus

    P (x<40) = (40-20) / (100-20)

    =20/80

    =0.25

    Answer: probability of consuming less than 40 lbs is 0.25.
