Geometric Probability SECTION 12.5

In terms of geometry we are thinking about shapes… Probability of hitting a section on a dart board. Probability of throwing the bean bag through the hole. Probability of getting the ring on the Coke bottle.

Example 3 A dart is tossed and hits the dart board shown. The dart is equally likely to land on any point on the dart board. Find the probability that the dart lands in the red region.

Example 4 What is the probability that a randomly selected point lies in the shaded region? 6 cm

Find the probability that a point chosen randomly inside the rectangle is in each shape. Round to the nearest hundredth. Example 3A

Find the probability that a point chosen randomly inside the rectangle is in each shape. Round to the nearest hundredth. Example 3A The area of the circle is A = r 2 = (9) 2 = 81 ≈ ft 2. The area of the rectangle is A = bh = 50(28) = 1400 ft 2. The probability is P = ≈ 0.18.

Find the probability that a point chosen randomly inside the rectangle is in each shape. Round to the nearest hundredth. Example 3A The area of the trapezoid is The area of the rectangle is A = bh = 50(28) = 1400 ft 2. The probability is

Find the probability that a point chosen randomly inside the rectangle is in each shape. Round to the nearest hundredth. Example 3A The area of the two squares is A = 2s 2 = 2(10) 2 = 200 ft 2. The area of the rectangle is A = bh = 50(28) = 1400 ft 2. The probability is

Find the probability that a point chosen randomly inside the rectangle is not inside the triangle, circle, or trapezoid. Round to the nearest hundredth. Example 3B

Area of rectangle: 900 m 2 Find the probability that a point chosen randomly inside the rectangle is not inside the triangle, circle, or trapezoid. Round to the nearest hundredth. The probability of landing inside the triangle (and circle) and trapezoid is Probability of not landing in these areas is 1 – 0.29 = Example 3B

Example 3C

Geometric Probability Project Create two different geometric probability figures (one must have a probability of less than ½ and one more than ½ ) There must be at least two separate shaded areas in each of the figures. Create unique shapes and areas. Points will be awarded for creativity. (i.e. don’t be lazy!) Find the probability of landing in the shaded area for each figure. Explain how you found each probability.

Try this! What is the probability of rolling a BUNCO? (A BUNCO is rolling three of the same number on three dice)
