Answer to Problem 11PSB

  Probability that second hand is between 7 and 12 =  13

Explanation of Solution

Given second hand of the clock sweeps continuously around the face of the clock.

Formula used:

  Probability of a event =possible number of outcomestotal number of outcomes

Calculation:

A clock shows 12 hours

So, total number of outcomes is 12

Possible number of outcomes between 7 and 12 is 4

  Probability of a event =possible number of outcomestotal number of outcomes

P (Second hand is between 7 and 12) = 412 = 13
