Learn how to find the geometric probability from a figure

The video tutorial explains geometric probability, focusing on calculating the probability of a ball not landing in a pool. The teacher guides students through the process of finding the total area and the pool area, using formulas for rectangles and circles. The geometric probability is calculated by dividing the selected area by the total area. The tutorial emphasizes understanding through visualization and interaction.

What is geometric probability primarily concerned with?

• Determining the length of a rectangle

• Finding the ratio of selected space to total space

• Calculating the area of a circle

• Measuring the volume of a pool

Which formula is used to calculate the area of a rectangle?

• 2π R

• π R-squared

• Base times height

• Length times width

What is the formula for the area of a circle?

• 2π R

• π R-squared

• Base times height

• Length times width

How is the selected space calculated in this problem?

• By adding the area of the pool to the total area

• By subtracting the area of the pool from the total area

• By multiplying the total area by the area of the pool

• By dividing the total area by the area of the pool

What is the probability that the ball will not land in the pool?

• 95%

• 75%

• 91%

• 85%
