Two points along a straight stick of length 7cm 44cm are ran
Two points along a straight stick of length 7cm. 44cm are randomly selected. The stick is then broken at those two points. Find the probability that all of the resulting pieces have length at least
Solution
Let P(A) be the probability that the resulting pieces have length at least 7cm.
Therefore, P(A) = length favourable to A/length of sample space = (44-7-7)/44 = 30/44 = 0.6818
