If a number between 0 and 1/2 is selected at random, which of the following will the number most likely be between?  Pick one
A) 0 and 3/20
B) 3/20 and 1/5
C) 1/5 and 1/4
D) 1/4 and 3/10
E) 3/10 and 1/2
A. 0 and 3/20 - covers 0 to 3/20 but leaves out 3/20 to 10/20. So in essence, covers only 3 parts out of 10 parts   B. 3/20 and 1/5 - covers 3/20 to 4/20 (= 1/5). So in essence, covers only 1 part out of 10 parts   C. 1/5 and 1/4 - covers 4/20 to 5/20. So in essence, covers only 1 part out of 10 parts   D. 1/4 and 3/10 - covers 5/20 to 6/20. So in essence, covers only 1 part out of 10 parts   E. 3/10 and 1/2 - covers 6/20 to 10/20. So in essence, covers 4 parts out of 10 parts. Since this range is the widest, so the probability of the number lying in this range is the highest.   Answer (3/10 and 1/2)
