-- When the 7.1 and 12.6 sides both point in exactly the same direction,
their open ends are 5.5 apart. So the missing side must be greater than 5.5 .
All of the choices are greater than 5.5 , so we haven't found it yet.
-- When the 7.1 and 12.6 point in opposite directions, their open ends are
19.7 apart. So the missing side can't be greater than 19.7, otherwise the
two sides we know couldn't reach between its ends. <u>Choice 'E'</u> is greater
than 19.9, so it can't be the missing side.

Using probability concepts, it is found that P(S and D) = 0.1275.
-----------------------
- A probability is the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of desired outcomes</u>.
- In a standard deck, there are 52 cards.
- Of those, 13 are spades, and 13 are diamond.
- The probability of selecting a spade with the first card is 13/52. Then, there is a 13/51 probability of selecting a diamond with the second. The same is valid for diamond then space, which means that the probability is multiplied by 2. Thus, the desired probability is:

Thus, P(S and D) = 0.1275.
