    We try to represent the data in segments from 0 to 20.

    The length of the line segment along the number line from 0 to 5 is 5 - 0 = 5 units. The length of the line segment along the number line from 20 to 5 is 20 - 5 = 15 units. If you were to randomly throw a dart on this number line, then the probability of landing in the shaded region is 15/20 = 3/4 or 75%
