MHB Did I Correctly Complete the Tree Diagram?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on verifying the accuracy of a tree diagram completed by a user. A key point highlighted is a typo in the probability calculation for the third entry in the rightmost column, where 11/12 multiplied by 1/12 should equal 11/144. Participants confirm that this is a minor error and that the rest of the diagram appears correct. The question arises whether the answer for part (b) is simply 11/144, indicating a need for clarification on the overall accuracy of the diagram. The conversation emphasizes the importance of precise calculations in probability diagrams.

In the rightmost column of probabilities, third from the top, you want 11/12 X 1/12 = 11/144. I can tell this is only a typo. Otherwise looks good.

Yep typo, so is the answer for (b) just 11/144

Thread 'Area of Overlapping Squares'

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
