Answer:

The probability that a point chosen at random from AK is on GJ is:

3/10

Explanation:

Total number of spaces from A to K is: 10 ( Since 10-0=10)

The number of spaces that lie between G to J is: 3 (Since 9-6=3)

Now we are asked to find the probability that a point chosen at random from AK is on GJ.

Hence, the probability is the ratio of the spaces that lie between G to J and the number of spaces from A to K.

Hence, the probability is: 3/10
