Questions: What is the probability that a random point on AB will be on CD ?
Transcript text: What is the probability that a random point on $\overline{\mathrm{AB}}$ will be on $\overline{\mathrm{CD}}$ ?
\[
P=[?]

Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Find the length of CD
The length of CD is the difference between the values at points D and C.
CD = 65 - 35 = 30
Step 2: Find the length of AB
The length of AB is the difference between the values at points B and A.
AB = 70 - 30 = 40
Step 3: Calculate the probability
The probability that a random point on AB will be on CD is the ratio of the length of CD to the length of AB.
Probability = CD / AB = 30 / 40 = 3/4 = 0.75
