Geometric Probability and Circle Areas

The video concludes the SAT Math boot camp with a focus on geometric probability, a less common but important topic. It explains how to solve probability questions using areas of shapes, such as circles divided into sectors. The video provides examples, including calculating the probability of a dart landing in a shaded area of a circle. It also covers estimation techniques to approximate probabilities when exact calculations are difficult.
