  2. Refresh… Probability - The chance that an event will occur (a # between 0 and 1). Geometric Probability – Probability involving geometric measures, such as length or area.

  3. Probability and Length P(point K is on ) = Length of Length of A C D B

  4. Area of M P(point K is in region M) = Area of J Probability and Area J M
