A point is picked randomly inside a circle, according to a uniform distribution (the probability that it falls within a region is proportional to the area of that region). What is the probability that the point is closer to the center of the circle than to its circumference?

1.    A point is chosen at random in the interior of a circle of radius R. The probability that the point falls inside a given region situated in the interior of the circle is proportional to the area of this region. Find the probability that: a)    The point occurs at a distance less than r (r>R) from the center b)    The smaller angle between a given direction and the line joining the point to the center does not exceed α.

A Monte Carlo simulation is a method for finding a value that is difficult to compute by performing many random experiments. For example, suppose we wanted to estimate π to within a certain accuracy. We could do so by randomly (and independently) sampling n points from the unit square and counting how many of them are inside the unit circle (assuming that the probability of selecting a point in a given region is proportional to the area of the region)....

proton is released from rest inside a region of constant, uniform electric field E1 pointing due North. 34.8 seconds after it is released, the electric field instantaneously changes to a constant, uniform electric field E2 pointing due South. 9.33 seconds after the field changes, the proton has returned to its starting point. What is the ratio of the magnitude of E2 to the magnitude of E1? You may neglect the effects of gravity on the proton.
