Let A be the event that the absolute difference between two randomly chosen real numbers in the sample space 0,60 is less than or equal to a. If PA=1136, then a is equal to _____ .

Solution

Given,

A be the event that the absolute difference between two randomly chosen real numbers in the sample space 0,60 is less than or equal to a,

So, x-y<a-a<x-y<a

  x-y<a and x-y>-a

Now on plotting the diagram we get,

Now from diagram probability is given by,

PA=area(OACDEG)area(OBDF)

PA=areaOBDF-areaABC-areaEFGareaOBDF

  1136=602-1260-a2-1260-a23600

  1100=3600-60-a2

  60-a2=250060-a=50

  a=10
