A Point Is Chosen At Random Inside A Rectangle Measuring 3 By 5 Inches. Find The Probability That The Point Is At Least 1 Inch From The Edge.

A point is chosen at random inside a rectangle measuring 3 by 5 inches. find the probability that the point is at least 1 inch from the edge.

Answer: 1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get the probability you need to get first the total number of possible outcomes, since the given is a rectangle, get the area if it. So 3x5=15 inches². The total number of possible outcones is 15. Next get the favorable outcomes, in the problem the favorable outcome is only 1 since it is being asked.

To get the probability, it is the ratio of favorable outcomes and total number of outcomes. So you have 1/15.
