Question

In a regular 15 - sided polygon with all its diagonals drawn, a diagonal is chosen at random. The probability that it is either a shortest diagonal nor a longest diagonal is, 2 3, 5 6, 8 9, 9 10

Total diagonals = C 2 15 - 15 = 90 Shortest diagonal = Diagonal connecting A 1 A 3 , A 2 A 4 , … = 15 longest diagonal = Diagonal connecting A 1 A 8 , A 1 A 9 , … = 15 Required probability = 90 - 15 - 15 90 = 60 90 = 2 3
