A point is chosen at random inside a circle.Find the probability 'p' that the point chosen is closer to the center of the circle than to its radius.
This comes from the noncountable uniform spaces sections.

It depends on how you choose the point, surely?

PS: I guess you mean closer to the centre than the circumference.
 
In or der to get the probability of a point chosen at random, requires knowing a probability distribution. This may sound a bit circular, but that's the way it is.

This is the way the problem is given and also the answer. :/

The "center" of the circle is a point which has a location in 2D. The "radius" of a circle is a number, which has no particular location in 2D. A "radius" is not a particular line segment. Does the problem have a diagram where a particular line segment is designated as the radius?
 
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
