2. Geometric Probability Geometry 10.8 Mr. Belanger

3. P(event)= event An event is any outcome that happens when a game/experiment is done. 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.

4. P(event)= P(event) =

5. Ways to report answer… Fraction Ratio a:b Percent 75%

6. Examples: A B C D If AD is 24 and BD is 17 what is the probability of landing in AB? How long is AB? 7

7. Examples: What is the probability of hitting the green section? 3.5 11 P= 10%

8. Examples: Radius = 7 in Radius = 12 in What is the probability of hitting the section of blue or anywhere inside the blue ring? P= P = 34%
