It should only be possible for one level to be reached. For 0.9999 it
should be level 10, although that's the cutoff point between level 9 and
level 10, so either level may be used depending on the exact value of the
level. It's not a straight scale (.1, .2, .3... .9).

It's done both ways. A given level is reached if the value is (greater
than or equal to) a certain value, but also less than another value. So if
it was using a straight scale, it might be something like:
Level 1: (value >= 0) and (value < .1)
Level 2: (value >= .1) and (value < .2)
...
Level 10: (value >= .9) and (value < 1)
In reality, though, the levels are set up more like a logarithmic scale, to
give the levels more meaning.
