Randomly choose two numbers between 0 and 1.
What is the probability that their mean is no greater than 2/3?

 

Let number one =x Let number two =y Let the mean =x+y2 

 

Their mean is no greater than 23:
x+y223

 

 

x+y2=23x+y=43|y=1x+1=43x=431x=13x+y2=23x+y=43|x=11+y=43y=431y=13

 

 

The probability=AredAAred=(1+13)223+131Ared=79A=11A=1The probability=791The probability=79
