Answer

$\dfrac{1}{40}$ or, $2.5\%$

Work Step by Step

We need to solve the inequality. $2\leq 4x \leq 3 \implies \dfrac{1}{2} \leq x \leq \dfrac{3}{4}$ The probability $P$ is the ratio of the distance between $\dfrac{1}{2}$ and $\dfrac{3}{4}$ to the total distance: $P=\dfrac{|\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{3}{4}|}{10}=\dfrac{1}{40}$ or, $2.5\%$
