MEDAL AND FAN!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!! Referring to the figure, find the probability that a point A, selected randomly on line NT, is on the given segment RU.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Zedditup Can you help please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh this is not my strong point. @team_cuban you wanna handle this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Probability is not mine either lemme see.... @ganeshie8 @Hero @dan815

@Vocaloid Please help

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

probability = (length of RU)/(length of NT)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do I figure it out? @Vocaloid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right now I'm utterly confused

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

what is the distance between R and U?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10-14 I guess

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

distance is positive, so 14-10 = 4 now find the distance between N and T

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20-0

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

which equals...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

right, now we can go back to our original equation probability = (length of RU)/(length of NT) = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(4)(20)=80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

/ means divide 4/20 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're right lol. My bad. so 4/20 or 20/4

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

4/20...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/20 is .2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

right, depending on how they want the answer, you can put in 0.2 or 20%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for you help. Can I do 19 on my own and you tell me if I got it right or wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NT..... 20-0=20 HF..... 18-4=14 14/20=.7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Vocaloid So 70%?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for your help. XD

probability = (length of RU)/(length of NT)
