Suppose you drop a die at random on the rectangular region shown in Figure. What is the probability that it will land inside the circle with diameter 1m?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Total number of cases, `n(S) =" Area of rectangle"`
` " "=3xx 2 = 6m^(2)`
Favourable number of cases, `n(E) = "Area of circle" = pi ((1)/(2))^(2)= (pi)/(4)m^(2)" "(because "diameter = 1 rArr "radisu" =(1)/(2))`
`therefore ` Probability that the die land inside the circle `= (n(E))/(n(S)) = (pi//4)/(6) = (pi)/(24)`
