Answer:

Probability: (About) 0.8

Explanation:

~ Provided that point X is randomly plotted on the line segment JM, we must calulculate the probability with which it lands on KM the first time ( implied ) ~

1. We know that the line segment JM, by the Partition Postulate ⇒ JK + KL + LM. With that being said JM = 3 + 7 + 4 = 14 units

2. Now line segment KM, by the Partition Postulate ⇒ KL + LM. With the assigned values, we can tell that KM = 7 + 4 = 11 units

3. If we were to determine the porbability that X lands on the line segment KM, considering the first try it would be KM/JM ⇒ Probability: 11/14
