At an oceanside nuclear power plant, seawater is used as part of the cooling system. This raises the temperature of the water that is discharged back into the ocean. The amount that the water temperature is raised has a uniform distribution over the interval from 10° to 25° C. Suppose that a temperature increase of more than 18° C is considered to be potentially dangerous to the environment. What is the probability that at any point in time, the temperature increase is potentially dangerous?
