Chapter 14: Problem 1
A blueberry pancake has diameter 15 cm and contains 6 large blueberries, each of diameter 1 cm. Find the cross section \(\sigma\) of a blueberry and the "target" density \(n_{\text {tar }}\) (number/area) of berries in the pancake, as seen from above. What is the probability that a skewer, jabbed at random into the pancake, will hit a berry (in terms of \(\sigma\) and \(n_{\text {tar }}\) and then numerically)?
