Question

Wendy throws a dart at this square-shaped target:

Answer 1

Part A: Is the probability of hitting the black circle inside the target closer to 0 or 1? Explain your answer and show your work.

Part B: Is the probability of hitting the white portion of the target closer to 0 or 1? Explain your answer and show your work.

Answer 2

k.

Answer 3

You're more likely to hit the white than black because the white space is larger. So the probability of hitting black is closer to 0 and the probability of hitting white is closer to 1.

For showing work, find the area of the black circle and the area of the white space. divide them both by the area of the square to find the probablility of hitting each.
