Sherwin throws a dart at this square-shaped target: Part A: Is the probability of hitting the black circle inside the target closer to 0 or 1? Why? Part B: Is the probability of hitting the white portion of the target closer to 0 or 1? Why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the area of the circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then find the area of the rectangle- area of the circle

OpenStudy (iiariana):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if not I can help

OpenStudy (iiariana):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay what is the area of the circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you take a pic of the question

OpenStudy (iiariana):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do 22*22

OpenStudy (anonymous):

484

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to get 12.56 for the area of the circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12.56/484 is your first probability for hitting the black circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you can turn that into a percentage

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to see if it is closer to 0 or 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

471.44/484= white space probability

OpenStudy (anonymous):

turn that into a percentage to see if that is closer to 0 or 1
