Vocaloid · Answer

it depends on how big the black circle is, if the black circle is very small then the probability of hitting the circle is near 0 because its area is small compared to the total area of the target

is there a picture to go with this?

Vocaloid · Answer

yeah, so what I said before still applies, since the area of the black circle is small compared to the whole target then for A) the probability of hitting the black circle is closer to 0, and conversely B) the probability of hitting the white target is closer to 1
