Two points are selected randomly on a line segment of length 20, one on each side of the midpoint of the line. That is, the two points X and Y are independentrandom variables such that X is uniformly distributed over (0, 10) and Y is uniformly distributed over (10, 20). Find the probability that the distance between thetwo points is greater than 8. Hint: Think of the pair (X, Y) as a point on the x-y plane (as in the Mr. Johnson and the newspaper problem) and identify the regionwhere they're more than 8 apart..
