Re: Numbers x and y are chosen independently and uniformly at random from [#permalink]
Okay i'll give you an example. There is dart circular board of radius 4cm. If you hit inside a concentric circle of radius 0.5 cm, that lies inside the dart board, you will score 25. What is the probability that you will score 25 on the first shot, if you hit the dart board.

Probability=Area of smaller circle/Area of bigger circle= (pi/4)/(16pi)=1/64

geometric probability is used when you can measure the outcomes in length, area or volume.
