Answer: Probability that x>7y is \frac{287}{4020}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

x>7y

And the coordinates are as follows:

(0,0),(2009,0),(2009,2010), and (0,2010)

We need to find the probability that x>7y

So, Required Probability is given by

\frac{\text{Area of triangle}}{\text{ Area of rectangle}}\\\\=\frac{0.5\times 2009\times 287}{2009\times 2010}\\\\=\frac{287}{4020}

Hence, Probability that x>7y is \frac{287}{4020}

Answer:

Hence, the probability is:

\dfrac{287}{4020}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that probability of an event is defined as:

Probability=(Number of favourable events)/(Total number of events)

The probability that x > 7y is given by:

Here the number of favourable event is equal to the area covered by the triangle ΔABE

Area of triangle ABE= (1/2)×b×h=(1/2)×2009×287=288291.5

and the total outcome is equal to the area of the rectangle (i.e. rectangle ABCD)

Area of rectangle ABCD=2009×2010=4038090

Hence, probability=

\dfrac{288291.5}{4038090}=\dfrac{287}{4020}

6/7 × 4 would be the correct answer. This is because 6/7 × 4= 3 3/7 which is equal to 4/7 × 6= 3 3/7. No other expression would equal 4/7 × 6
