What is the probability of breaking a stick into 3 pieces and forming a triangle?

Mathematics
1 answer:
kicyunya [14]4 years ago
3 0

The probabilities:

-Two break points are selected randomly (and distributed uniformly) on the stick.

The stick is first broken into two pieces. The longest (or rather, not the shortest) is then broken into two.

-The stick is first broken into two pieces. A piece randomly selected with probability 1/2 is then broken into two.

-The stick is first broken into two pieces. A piece randomly selected with the probability proportional to its length is then broken into two.

the drama club has sold 942 tickets to their play if their theater seats 57 each row how many full rows were there be how many e
Alona [7]

Since 57x17=969 I did 969-942 and got 27 so there is 16 full rows and then 27 left over so that means it won’t be a full row but 27 extra seats will be filled. (If your wondering where the 17 came from that’s how many rows can be made that’s over 942 because if I did 57x16 it would equal 912 and I would not have had a full row of chairs)

Daniel [21]

Answer:  D

Step-by-step explanation:

Sketch and label the sampling distribution for the sample proportion of games containing a big bang, according to the Central Limit Theorem, assuming that the grandfather's null hypothesis is true. Also check whether or not the conditions hold for the CLT to apply. Of the 95 games in our sample, 47 contained a big bang.
