A point is chosen at random inside a circle with radius r. Find the probability p that the point is at most r/3 from the center.

Choose a point at random in a square with sides 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 1. This means that the probability that the point falls in any region within the square is equal to the area of that region. Let X be the x coordinate and Y the y coordinate of the point chosen. Find the conditional probability P(Y < 1/2 | Y > X). (Hint: Draw a diagram of the square and the events Y < 1/2 and Y > X)
