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.

stira [4]

Answer:

StartFraction 1.55 over 1 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 3.5 EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1.55}{1}  =  \frac{x}{3.5}  \\  \\  \therefore \: x = 1.55 \times 3.5 \\  \\ \therefore \: x = \$ 5.425 \\  \\\therefore \: x\approx  \$5.43

zhenek [66]
In order to overlook someone's faults, it takes love and an understanding that you are not perfect.
When you love someone, you tend not to see that person's flaws, or even if you do see them, you believe those flaws are negligible. Once you understand that you yourself are not perfect (as any other human being), it will be easier for you to overlook someone else's faults.
