Consider X ∼ Uniform(0,1) as the point where a stick of unit length is broken at random. So after the stick breaks, you will have two sticks of lengths x and 1 − x. Find the probability that x (also called the 5

1−x

odds) is less than 4. Hint: You can treat the inequality inside the probability statement as you would any

other inequality.
