A hockey match is played from 3pm to 5pm. A man arrives late for the match. What is the probability that he misses the only goal of the match which is scored at the 20th minute of the match?
Solution(By Examveda Team)
The man can arrive anytime between 3pm to 5pm.So, total duration = 2 hrs = 120 mins.
Now he sees the goal only if he arrives within first 20 mins.
So, Probability(he sees the goal) = favourable duration/total duration = 20 mins/120 mins = 1/6.
