What is the probability that a point chosen at random on segment PQ will be between -1 and 3?
-5 through 5
4/10= 2/5
5/11
There are 5 points between (and including) -1 and 3. There are 11 points between -5 and 5.
To find the probability that a point chosen randomly on segment PQ will be between -1 and 3, we need to determine the length of the segment between -1 and 3 and divide it by the total length of segment PQ.
First, let's find the length of the segment between -1 and 3:
Length = 3 - (-1) = 4
Next, we need to find the total length of segment PQ. However, since the full length of segment PQ is not provided in the question, we cannot determine the probability accurately. We need more information, such as the coordinates or length of the segment PQ, to calculate the total length.
If you have additional information, please provide it, and I would be happy to help you calculate the probability.
