Answer:
a) 
b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a
We assume that the parachutist lands at random point in the interval (x=A,y=B) we have a continuous random variable X. And the distribution of X would be uniform
. And the density function would be given by:

And 0 for other case.
The operation fails, if parachutist's distance to A is more than five times as much as her distance to B.
So the point P in the interval (A,B) at which the distance to A is exactly 5 times the distance to B is given by:

And we can find the probability desired like this:

And from the cumulative distribution function of X ficen by
we got:

Part b
For this case we assume that 
On this case we assume that 
The density function for the Gamma distribution is given by:

And on this case we can find the probability using the complement rule like this:

We can solve this problem with the following excel code:
"=1-GAMMA.DIST(1;2;1;TRUE)"
And if we do it by hand we need to do this:

Answer:
Option: c is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that paco needs at least 3/8 yard of twine to build a model ship.
that is we require twine of amount greater than 3/8 yards.
<em>now we need to check among the given options which quantity is greater than 3/8 yards.</em>
a)
3/10 yard.
As we know that for two rational numbers with the same numerator but with different denominator the number whose denominator is smaller is a greater quantity.
Hence 3/10 < 3/8
Hence option a is incorrect.
b)
1/4 yard
As to compare to rational numbers we have to either make the numerator equal or their denominator equal. Hence here we multiply and divide 1/4 by 2 to get 8 in the denominator.

as 2/8 < 3/8
since the denominator is same and the number with the same denominator but with different numerator are compared as whose numerator is greater is a greater quantity.
Hence option b is incorrect.
c)
3/4 yard
Clearly both the numbers have the same numerator but different denominator and we know that for two rational numbers with the same numerator but with different denominator the number whose denominator is smaller is a greater quantity.
Hence 3/8 < 3/4
Hence, option c is correct.
d)
1/8 yard
clearly both the numbers have the same denominator and we know that for two rational numbers withe same denominator but with different numerator the number whose numerator is smaller is a smaller quantity.
Hence, 1/8 < 3/8
Hence, option d is incorrect.
