Answer:
P = 0.2 (or 20%)
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of a random point on [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] being on the line segment [tex]\overline{CD}[/tex] can be computed by dividing the length of [tex]\overline{CD}[/tex] by length of [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex]
Length [tex]\overline{CD} = 53 - 48 = 5[/tex]
Length [tex]\overline{AB} = 70 - 30 = 40[/tex]
[tex]P = \dfrac{8}{40} = \dfrac{1}{5} = 0.2[/tex]
Answer
P = 0.2 or 20% (not sure how they want it)
