+1836 On the number line, point A is located at 0, point B is located at 4, and point C is located at 6. A dart randomly lands somewhere on the number line between A and C. What is the probability that it lands closer to B than it does to A or C?
+33654 To land closer to B than A it would have to land at a point > 2. To land closer to B than C it would have to land at a point < 5. So it would have to land between 2 and 5 a region which is half of the total between 0 and 6. So the probability it lands closer to B than to either A or C is 0.5.
