Calculate geometric probabilities

Use geometric probability to predict results in real-world situations

Hi Matt :3



geometric probability

the probability of an event is based on a ratio of geometric measures, such as length or area

A point is chosen randomly on line segment WZ. Find the geometric probability for each situation.

1) The point is on XZ

2) The point is not on XY

1) The pointer landing on orange or yellow

Use the spinner to find the probability of each event.

2) The pointer not landing on green

Find the probability that a point chosen randomly in the rectangle is in each given shape. Round to the nearest tenth.
