Answer :

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)
