8H - Estimating probabilities using area
In some situations, probabilities can be estimated using area. \[Pr(A)=\frac{Area \ of \ event \ A}{Total \ Area}\]
8H - Example 1: Estimating probabilities using area
Anabelle and Jess are two joggers who run around Lake Wendouree every morning. They both start jogging at a random time between 6:00am and 7:00am from the Boat Shed. Anabelle and Jess have an arrangement, when either one of them gets to the Boat Shed they will wait for up to 10 minutes to see if the other person turns up; if they do turn up they will run together, if they do not turn up they will run alone. In order to finish their run on time they must start running by 7:00am. What is the probability that they will run together on any given morning?
