Question 828014
There is a point in a circle. What is the probability that this point is closer to its circumference than to the centre? 
-------
Let the radius of the circle be "r".
Total area of the circle = pi*r^2
--------
Radius of the circle with the same center and radius = r/2.
Area of this smaller circle is pi(r/2)^2 = (1/4)pi*r^2
-----
Area between the smaller and the larger circle is (3/4)pi*r^2
----
P(closer to circumference then to center) = (3/4)
