Week 9: Geometric Probability FHS Math Club 12/11/19 Problems 1. What is the probability that a randomly chosen point inside of a circle is closer to the center than the circumference? 2. A disk with a 1 foot radius is placed on a 6 ft by 6 ft square table, such that center of the disk is directly above a point on the table, What is the probability that the entire disk is on top of the table? 3. Both the bus and you get to the bus stop at random times between 12 pm and 1 pm, When the bus arrives, it waits for 5 minutes before leaving. When you arrive, you wait for 20 minutes before leaving if the bus doesn’t come, What is the probability that you catch the bus? 4. Point (z,y) is randomly picked from the rectangular region with vertices at (0,0), (2009, 0), (2009, 2010), and (0,2010). What is the probability that 2 > Ty? Express your answer as a common fraction. Point P is chosen inside square ABCD. What is the probability that ABP has a greater area than each of triangles BCP and CDP? 6. Real numbers between 0 and 1, inclusive, are chosen in the following manner. A fair coin is fipped. If it lands heads, then it is flipped again and the chosen number is 0 if the second flip is heads and 1 if the second fiipis tails. On the other hand, if the first coin flip is tails, then the number is chosen uniformly at random from the closed interval (0,1). Two random numbers x and y are chosen independently in this manner. What is the probability that [2 ~ yl > 12? 7. Alex, Bob, and Charlie each randomly pick a real number between 0 and 1. What is the probability that the sum of the squares of their numbers does not exceed 1? 8. Point P is sclected at random from the interior of the pentagon with vertices A = (0,2), B = (4,0), C= (28 1,0), D = (2x + 1,4), and E = (0,4). What is the probability that CAPB is obtuse? Express your answer as a common fraction Fi 9. Two numbers are chosen randomly and uniformly from [-1,1]. What is the probability that the absolute value of the smaller number is greater than two times the absolute value of the larger number? Does the 10, Three points are chosen randomly and independently om a circle, What is the probability that all three pairwise distance between the points are less than the radius of the circle?
