(a).
To find:
The probability that the coin covers a vertex of one of the squares on the grid.
(a).
Answer to Problem 65E
The required probability is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A coin of diameter
Concept Used:
Apply the formula of the probability:
Calculation:
The radius of a coin is
Area of each circle is given by
The side of square is
So, area of each grid is given by
Therefore, the required probability is
Conclusion:
Hence, the required probability is
