A machine shop produces spindles. The spindles are 18-inch rods used in a variety of equipment. A piece of equipment used in the manufacture of the spindles malfunctions on occasion and places a single gouge somewhere on the spindle. However, if the spindle can be cut so that is has 16 consecutive inches without a gouge, then the spindle can be salvagod for other purposes. Assuming that the location of the gouge along the spindle is bast described by a uniform distribution, what is the probability that a defectivo spindle can be salvaged? The probability that a defective spindle can be salvaged is (Round to four deocimal places as needed)
