Geometrical Probability--A Source of Interesting and Significant Applications of High School Mathematics.

Dahlke, Richard; Fakler, Robert

Mathematics Teacher, v75 n9 p736-45 Dec 1982

Geometrical probability deals with probability on infinite sample spaces where each outcome of an experiment is equally likely to occur. Geometry which identifies sample space regions and event subregions leads to a method of finding a desired probability. A collection of problems with solutions is presented. (MP)
