Chapter 13, Problem 9MCQ

To determine

To calculate:

Probability of the event $P\left(AisonCD\right)$

Answer to Problem 9MCQ

Probability of the event $P\left(AisonCD\right)$ is $\frac{6}{13}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  

Calculations:

Given event is $P\left(AisonCD\right)$ .

Probability of $P\left(AisonCD\right)$ is given by,

  $=\frac{L_{CD}}{L_{BE}}$

Where,

  $L_{BD}=$ length of $CD$ .

  $L_{BE}=$ Length of $BE$

  $\begin{array}{l}=\frac{12}{5+12+9}\\ =\frac{12}{26}\\ =\frac{6}{13}\end{array}$

Thus, probability is $\frac{6}{13}$ .
