Total supply: 8\times250\times60=120000 There will be 300 customers for 80 days, so the number of gallon for each customer is \frac{120000}{300\times80}=5 Each customers will need to reduce 3 gallons, (each customers will have 5 gallons only).

A particular employee arrives at work sometime between 8:00 a.m. and 8:50 a.m. Based on past experience the company has determined that the employee is equally likely to arrive at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 8:50 a.m. Find the probability that the employee will arrive between 8:05 a.m. and 8:40 a.m. Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.
