Geometric Probability Flashcards
1
Q
What is Probability?
A
The chance that something may happen.
2
Q
What is Geometric Probability?
A
Probability concerning shapes, graphs, and geometric measures.
3
Q
How do you solve Probability problems?
A
You find the total amount and put the probability of something happening over it (for example, 1/2).
4
Q
How do you solve Pie-chart Probabilities?
A
You find your probability and put it over 360 since it is a circle (for example, 0/360).
5
Q
How do you find the Probability of landing in a shape that is part of a larger shape?
A
You put the area of the small shape over the area of the larger shape (for example, 9m^2/18m^2. This simplifies to 1/2).
