If `x in [0,5]`, then what is the probability that `x^2 - 3x + 2 > 0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`x^2-3x+2 ge 0`
`=>(x-1)(x-2) ge 0`
It means, `x ge 2` and `x le 1`
If we draw it on the number line, from points `0` to `5`, we can see that `4/5` of the part is covered. So, the required probability is `4/5`.
Please refer to video to see the number line.
