Answer:

0.2103

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Distribution is uniform (as it is along a straight line), so we can consider the probabilities as direct areas.

It can represented by a square having an area of 36^{2}.

Area of whole stick = Length x Breadth = 36 x 36 =1296 cm^{2}

This area is equal to probability of 1.

Now when two points are randomly selected, they can be represented as :

X_{1} and X_{2}

After breaking from two points, there will be three pieces of stick

1 piece Least length = 6.5 cm

3 piece length = 6.5 x 3 = 19.5 cm

Area of pieces with at least 6.5cm length = (Length .of. whole .stick- length .of. 3. pieces)^{2} = (36 - 19.5)^{2} = (16.5 cm)^{2} = 272.25 cm^{2}

Probability of resulting pieces having at least 6.5 length = P (6.5 length) = \frac{(Area -of -pieces -with-6.5 -length)}{Area-of-stick}

P (6.5 length) = \frac{272.5}{1296} = 0.2103

which is the probability that all of the resulting pieces have length at least 6.5 cm.

Use the recursive formula to answer the question.
scZoUnD [109]
You know a1.
So find a2, a3, and so on until a7.

a(1) = 12
a(2) = 16
a(3) = 20
a(4) = 24
a(5) = 28
a(6) = 32
a(7) = 36
Each is 4 more than the previous.

Please solve-y(2+4y)
Elina [12.6K]
To solve this, you distribute the -y to both terms, 2 and 4y.
It will look something like this: (2*-y)+(4y*-y)
When you simplify, look for any like terms that can be combined, and if none, then leave it as it is. 
Your final answer will be: -2y-4y^2
