Plug in the values of p and q where you see them in the equation:
-(2+4)2 / (-6) - Distribute the -1
(-2-4)2 / (-6) - Distribute the 2
(-4-8) / (-6) - Subtract what's inside the parenthesis
(-12) / (-6) - Divide
The answer is 2
The experimental probability is
(number of times it stopped over Sect. 2) / (total number of times you tried it)
Number of times it stopped in Section-2: 36
Total number of times you tried it: (20 + 36 + 24) = 80
Experimental probability of Section-2 = 36/80 = 9/20 = 45%
Draw the triangle and then use Pythagoras' theorem
distance =
= 19.70 (2dp)
