(a)
Answer to Problem 17SGR
Explanation of Solution
Given:
M, P , C, and T are sitting on the side of a pool in that order.M is 2 feet from P . P is 4 feet from C. C is 3 feet from T . O joins them .
Calculation:
Represent the given situation :
M 2 ft. P 4 ft. C 3 ft. T
Total distance between M and T = 2 + 4 + 3 = 9 ft.
Distance between M and P = 2 ft.
So, the probability that O will sit between M and P =
(b)
Find the probability that O sits between P and T.

Calculation:
Represent the given situation :
M 2 ft. P 4 ft. C 3 ft. T
Total distance between M and T = 2 + 4 + 3 = 9 ft.
Distance between P and T = 4 + 3 = 7 ft.
So, the probability that O will sit between P and T =
