An Infinite Lattice of Points (Posted on 2024-05-23) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Consider an infinite square lattice of points with integer coordinates on a plane.

If two lattice points are chosen at random, what is the probability that the straight-line segment joining the two lattice points will not pass through any other lattice points?
