the probability that the x-coordinate of the point is negative and the y-coordinate of the point is positive is 16.36%
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that each point has the same probability to be chosen ( uniform probability distribution in the rectangle area ) then the probability of choosing a negative x-coordinate and positive y-coordinate is the ratio of the area with those requirements over the total area of the rectangle.
therefore
Ar= area of negative x-values and positive y-values = (-3)*6 = 18
AT= total area of the rectangle = [8-(-3) ]*[6-(-4)] = 110
If there is 9 slots per page, and 18 pages in the 54 page book are taken up by football cards, that leaves you with 36 pages left. Again, 9 slots per page, so you multiply 9 x 36 and get 324 slots available for baseball cards.
