Let be the unit circle A point is chosen randomly on the circumference and another point is chosen randomly from the interior of (these points are chosen independently and uniformly over their domains). Let be the rectangle with sides parallel to the and -axes with diagonal What is the probability that no point of lies outside of
Solution
1. **Define the points and :**
- Let where is uniformly distributed over .
- Let where is uniformly distributed over and is uniformly distributed over .
2. **Determine the coordinates of the vertices of the rectangle :**
- The rectangle has sides parallel to the - and -axes with diagonal .
- The vertices of are:
3. **Condition for to lie inside :**
- For to lie entirely within the unit circle, all vertices must satisfy the equation .
- The vertices are:
- We need to check the conditions:
4. Simplify the conditions:
- The third condition simplifies to:
This condition is always satisfied since is uniformly distributed over .
5. Evaluate the remaining conditions:
- The first condition:
Since , this condition is always satisfied for .
- The second condition:
Since , this condition is always satisfied for .
6. Conclusion:
- Since all conditions are satisfied for , the probability that no point of lies outside of is 1.
The final answer is .
