In the simplest case, a geometric probability is one that is given in terms of the ratio of two areas. For example, suppose a parachutist could land anywhere on a 10 square kilometre area of open country with equal probability, and you wanted to know how probable it would be that the parachutist would land on a designated area of 2 square kilometres with that part of open country.
Then the probability would be 2 / 10 = 0.2
The same principles apply in more and more difficult or complex cases, and in spaces of higher dimension. For instance, one can discuss geometric probabilities involving three-dimensional space.

What is the probability that an object tossed into a region X and lands in region Y where region Y is contained in region X?
Geometric Probability
How do you do probability of independent events?
The answer depends on what you mean by "do". Does it mean calculate individually, calculate the probability of either one or the other (or both), calculate the probability of both, calculate some function of both (for example the sum of two dice being rolled)?
How to calculate empirical probability?
Bayesian probability ; see related link .
How do you predict probability?
"Probability" is not something that occurs in the future. It's the numerical likelihood of something happening in the future. You don't predict the probability. You calculate it.
How do you calculate speed for a line segment?
Line segments are geometric concepts: they have no speed!
What is the definition of geometric probability?
Geometric probability is the probability of a random event within taking place a geometric plane. The idea of geometric probability covers a wide range of problems, but the common theme is probability as it applies to geometric shapes and objects.
What does geomeric probability mean?
Geometric probabilities are those that are either given in terms of geometric entities or can be computed in terms of geometric entities.For example, the probability that the ball tossed onto a moving roulette wheel coming up '00' could be considered a geometric probability.
Is geometric probability hard?
Yes it is :D
What is the best definition for probability in geometry?
Since probability is not a geometric concept, there is no definition for it in geometry.
When do you have a geometric distribution?
A geometric distribution comes from a binary probability which does not have a set number of trials. It seeks to determine how many trials must be conducted before success is achieved. For example, instead of saying, "If I shoot the ball 5 times, what is my probability of success," a geometric probability would question, "How many times will I have to shoot the ball before I make a basket?"

What can be done with the principle of probability?
You can calculate the probability of the outcome of events.

Two dice are rolled what is the probability of rolling at least one six?
First calculate the probability of not rolling a six - since there are 5 possibilities for each die, this is (5/6) x (5/6). Then calculate the complement (1 minus the probability calculated).First calculate the probability of not rolling a six - since there are 5 possibilities for each die, this is (5/6) x (5/6).
