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

are the 2 and 12 in inches?

Answer 2

yes'

Answer 3

Ok. Then, assuming it's a 12-inch ruler, the probability will be:
\[ \frac{\text{length where bee lands}}{\text{total length of ruler}}\]

Answer 4

sooo... 2/11?

Answer 5

not quite, the area between 2 and 12 will be \(12-2=10\). And the area of the rule is 12 (it's a 12-inch ruler)

Answer 6

its b

Answer 7

Just think.. the length between 2 and 12 is a large portion of the ruler, so you expect a high probability!

Answer 8

sorry its d my bad

Answer 9

Thank you Thank you

Answer 10

yeah d is right
