What is Geometric Probability?

Back

Geometric Probability is the probability that involves geometric figures and is calculated by comparing areas or lengths.

Front

How do you calculate the theoretical probability of an event?

Back

Theoretical probability is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.

What is the theoretical probability of landing on orange or red if you spin a spinner with 8 equal sections, 3 of which are orange or red?

Back

3/8

If you pick a point at random inside a large square, what is the probability it is in a smaller square that occupies 1/4 of the area?

Back

1/4

Define Experimental Probability.

Back

Experimental Probability is the probability based on the actual results of an experiment.

Front

What does P(not A) represent in probability?

Back

P(not A) represents the probability that event A does not occur.

Front

If the probability of event A is 1/4, what is P(not A)?

Back

P(not A) = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4.

What is the formula for calculating the area of a rectangle?

Back

Area = length × width.

Front

How do you find the probability of a point falling within a specific area of a geometric shape?

Back

Divide the area of the specific region by the total area of the shape.
