To solve the problem, let's first calculate the areas of the circle, the square, and the rectangle.
1. **Area of the rectangle**:
\[
\text{Area of rectangle} = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 22 \text{ in} \times 17 \text{ in} = 374 \text{ in}^2
\]
2. **Area of the circle**:
The formula for the area of a circle is:
\[
\text{Area of circle} = \pi r^2
\]
Here, the radius \( r = 2 \) inches.
\[
\text{Area of circle} = \pi \cdot (2)^2 = 4\pi \text{ in}^2 \approx 12.57 \text{ in}^2 \quad (\text{using } \pi \approx 3.14)
\]
3. **Area of the square**:
The formula for the area of a square is:
\[
\text{Area of square} = \text{side length}^2
\]
Here, the side length = 12 inches.
\[
\text{Area of square} = 12^2 = 144 \text{ in}^2
\]
4. **Total area of the circle and square**:
\[
\text{Total area of circle and square} = \text{Area of circle} + \text{Area of square} \approx 12.57 + 144 = 156.57 \text{ in}^2
\]
5. **Probability that a randomly placed point is not inside the square**:
To find this probability, we first need to determine the area not occupied by the square within the rectangle.
The area not occupied by the square can be found by subtracting the area of the square from the area of the rectangle:
\[
\text{Area outside the square} = \text{Area of rectangle} - \text{Area of square} = 374 - 144 = 230 \text{ in}^2
\]
Now, the probability that a point is not inside the square is:
\[
P(\text{not in square}) = \frac{\text{Area outside the square}}{\text{Area of rectangle}} = \frac{230}{374}
\]
Calculating this probability:
\[
P(\text{not in square}) \approx 0.6158
\]
6. **Rounding to the nearest hundredth**:
\[
P(\text{not in square}) \approx 0.62
\]
Since none of the specific answers is directly \(0.62\), we take the closest option present. In this case, the nearest hundredth rounding leads us to select \(0.61\).
Thus, the final answer is:
\[
\text{The probability that a point placed randomly in the figure is not inside the square is } 0.61.
\]
1. **Area of the rectangle**:
\[
\text{Area of rectangle} = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 22 \text{ in} \times 17 \text{ in} = 374 \text{ in}^2
\]
2. **Area of the circle**:
The formula for the area of a circle is:
\[
\text{Area of circle} = \pi r^2
\]
Here, the radius \( r = 2 \) inches.
\[
\text{Area of circle} = \pi \cdot (2)^2 = 4\pi \text{ in}^2 \approx 12.57 \text{ in}^2 \quad (\text{using } \pi \approx 3.14)
\]
3. **Area of the square**:
The formula for the area of a square is:
\[
\text{Area of square} = \text{side length}^2
\]
Here, the side length = 12 inches.
\[
\text{Area of square} = 12^2 = 144 \text{ in}^2
\]
4. **Total area of the circle and square**:
\[
\text{Total area of circle and square} = \text{Area of circle} + \text{Area of square} \approx 12.57 + 144 = 156.57 \text{ in}^2
\]

Now, the probability that a point is not inside the square is:
\[
P(\text{not in square}) = \frac{\text{Area outside the square}}{\text{Area of rectangle}} = \frac{230}{374}
\]
Calculating this probability:
\[
P(\text{not in square}) \approx 0.6158
