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.

1. Treacherous Triangle Trickery. Consider a charge distribution consisting of an equilateral triangle with a point charge q fixed at each of its vertices. Let d be the distance between the center of the triangle and each vertex, let the triangle’s center be at the origin, and let one of its vertices lie on the x-axis at the point x = −d. 1.1. Compute the electric field at the center of the triangle by explicitly computing the sum of the...

If a real number x is chosen at random in the interval [0, 3] and a real number y is chosen at random in the interval [0, 4 ,] what is the probability that x<y? Here's what I got - I'm hoping someone can tell me if this is a valid argument. P(x<y) = P(y>3) + P(y<3 and x<y|y<3) = 1/4 + (3/4)(1/2) = 5/8. I know 5/8 is the correct answer. Is this the correct method to get there?...

An integer N is chosen from 1 to 10 uniformly at random. Two random variables are defined: X is 1 plus the remainder on division of N by 3. So e.g. when N = 5, the remainder on division by 3 is 2, so X = 3. Y is [N/3]. So e.g. when N = 5, Y = 2. (a) Find E[X], E[Y ] and Var[Y ]. (b) Are X and Y independent?
