First, remember that ∣ a + b i ∣ = a 2 + b 2 . Note that without the conditions 0 < a < 1 0 , − 1 0 < b < 1 0 , the solution set for a 2 + b 2 ≤ 7 is the disk a 2 + b 2 ≤ 4 9 , which is centered at ( a , b ) = ( 0 , 0 ) with radius r = 7 . Keeping this in mind and restricting a and b to 0 < a < 1 0 , − 1 0 < b < 1 0 , the probability that a 2 + b 2 ≤ 7 is the area of the solution set divided by the area of all the possible values of a and b . This is x = Δ a Δ b 2 π r 2 = 2 0 0 ( 2 4 9 π ) = 4 0 0 4 9 π Next, find that x 3 1 = 1 1 7 6 4 9 π 3 6 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 ≈ 1 7 . 5 4 . The solution is therefore ⌊ x 3 1 ⌋ = 1 7
