Two points are selected randomly on a line of length 34 so as to be on opposite sides of the midpoint of the line. in other words, the two points x and y are independent random variables such that x is uniformly distributed over [0,17) and y is uniformly distributed over (17,34]. find the probability that the distance between the two points is greater than 7.
