If x, the time (in minutes) to complete an oil change at a certain auto service station, is uniformly distributed over the interval 20 to 30, inclusively (20 ≤ x ≤ 30), then the probability that an oil change is completed in 25 to 28 minutes, inclusively, i.e., p(25 ≤ x ≤ 28) is __________________.

The time interval of interest is 3 minutes; the total range of time is 10 minutes. The probability the oil change will be completed in the given interval is 3/10.
