Let \(A\) be the event that the absolute difference between two randomly choosen real numbers in the sample space \([0,60]\) is less than or equal to \(a\). If \(P(A)=\frac{11}{36}\), then \(a\) is equal to \(...............\).

  1. A \(100\)
  2. B \(0.1\)
  3. C \(15\)
  4. D \(10\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(10\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(|x-y| < a \Rightarrow-a < x-y < a\) \(\Rightarrow x-y < a \text { and } x-y > -a\) \(P ( A )=\frac{\operatorname{ar}( OACDEG )}{( OBDF )}\) \(=\frac{\operatorname{ar}( OBDF )-\operatorname{ar}( ABC )-\operatorname{ar}( EFG )}{\operatorname{ar}( OBDF )}\)…
