Question

A bee lands on a random point on a rulers edge. Find the probability that the point is between 2 and 12. (a). 1/6 (b). 2/11 (c). 3/4 (d). 5/6

Answer 1

I think it's D. Idk so

Answer 2

5/6

Explanation:

A ruler has numbers as 1 ,2...12

When we consider numbers between 2 and 12, we can take numbers as

3,4,...11

i.e. there are 9 numbers between 2 and 12 (end values not exclusive)

Sample space has 12 numbers

Hence total probability is for the space between 0 and 12.

Space between 2 and 12 will be 10/12

=5/6
