Question

there are three ants on the corners of a triangle nd they start moving randomly towards one another.......wat's the probability that they dont collide

Answer 1

could you define "moving randomly towards one another"?

Answer 2

Each of them can move in 2 directions. So number of case is 2*2*2 = 8
They dont collide if all move in clockwise or counter clockwise. So number of that case is 2.
I think the pr. here is 2/8 = 1/4

Answer 3

i am going to hazard a guess the question is slightly different than posed, because as it is i think you would need lots more information (size of the ants, for one)

Answer 4

sorry @satellite73 that's the entire question and answer is 25 % r say 1/4

big difference right?
randomly moving towards ANOTHER CORNER versus
