PLEASE HELP ASAP IM REALLY TRING TO FINISH A stick has a length of $5$ units. The stick is then broken at two points, chosen at
random. What is the probability that all three resulting pieces are longer than $1$ unit?
1 answer:
Answer:
0.16
Step-by-step explanation:
- Length = 5 units
- Number of broken sticks= 3
- Equal lengths = 5 units/3
<u>See the picture attached for reference.</u>
As you see the best points are the green areas which covers 2 out of 5 zones.
<u>Since it is same for both broken points, the probability of this is:</u>
- 2/5*2/5 = 4/ 25 = 0.16
<u>Answer is</u> 0.16
