Answer: 0.50, which is choice b
Explanation:
The interval [tex]1 \le x \le 5[/tex] covers 5-1 = 4 units in the horizontal direction.
This is out of 8 units that span from x = 0 to x = 8 (we could say 8-0 = 8).
So we get the final result of 4/8 = 0.50
In other words, the interval from x = 1 to x = 5 covers exactly half of the interval from x = 0 to x = 8.
