Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

To determine

  To find the probability that is within 2 units of R when a point is randomly chosen on PR¯.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 5PSA

  To Probability is 13.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The distance between P and R is 6 units.

Formula used:

Probability means possibility.

The probability formula is defined as the possibility of an event to happen is equal to the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes and the total number of outcomes.

Probability of event to happen is

  P(E)= Number of favourable outcomes/Total Number of outcomes

Calculation:

  Distance between P and R = |4 -10| = 6 units.

A point is in within 2 units of R if it lies in between 8 to 10.

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 1.9, Problem 5PSA

In our example, favorable outcome = |8-10| = 2 units .

The total number of outcomes = |4 – 10| = 6 units .

Therefore, the probability will be

  P(Angle is right angle) = 26 = 33.33%.
