Section 11.6 Geometric Probability

Finding a Geometric Probability A probability is a number from 0 to 1 that represents the chance that an event will occur. Assuming that all outcomes are equally likely, an event with a probability of 0 cannot occur. An event with a probability of 1 is certain to occur, and an event with a probability of 0.5 is just as likely to occur as not.

Finding a Geometric Probability A probability is a number from 0 to 1 that represents the chance that an event will occur. Assuming that all outcomes are equally likely, an event with a probability of 0 cannot occur. An event with a probability of 1 is certain to occur, and an event with a probability of 0.5 is just as likely to occur as not. In an earlier course, you may have evaluated probabilities by counting the number of favorable outcomes and dividing that number by the total number of possible outcomes. In this lesson, you will use a related process in which the division involves geometric measures such as length or area. This process is called geometric probability.

• Finding a Geometric Probability Probability and Length Let AB be a segment that contains the segment CD. If a point K on AB is chosen at random, then the probability that it is on CD is as follows: • A C D B P(Point K is on CD) = Length of CD Length of AB

• Finding a Geometric Probability Probability and Length Let AB be a segment that contains the segment CD. If a point K on AB is chosen at random, then the probability that it is on CD is as follows: • A C D B P(Point K is on CD) = Length of CD Length of AB Probability and Area Let J be a region that contains region M. If a point K in J is chosen at random, then the probability that it is in region M is as follows: J M P(Point K is in region M) = Area of M Area of J

Using Geometric Probability in Real Life DART BOARD 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. SOLUTION Find the ratio of the area of the red region to the area of the dart board. P(Dart lands in red region) = Area of red region Area of dart board = (2 2) 16 2 = 4 256  0.05 The probability that the dart lands in the red region is about 0.05, or 5 %.
