Answer: The required probability is 2.167.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

It is a uniform distribution between 46 minutes and 73 minutes.

She finishes within 58.5 minutes.

So, the general probability is :


(58.5)/(b-a)\\\\here,\\\\a=46\\\\b=73

So, the probability would be


(58.5)/(73-46)=(58.5)/(27)=2.167

Hence, the required probability is 2.167.
