brenda 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? explain your answer and show your work. (5 points)

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. (5 points)

Hey there, Lets solve this together. 

A square is shown with sides labeled 11.

A shaded circle is shown in the center of the square. The diameter of the circle is 2. 

Large square its 11 x 11 which = 121 

The area of the circle is calculated by the formula 2πr=2π which is approximately 6.28 the area of the square is 112=121 

The area of the given square outside the circle is

121−6.28

which is much larger than the area of the circle itself 

Therefore the probability of getting inside the circle is closer to zero the probability of getting outside is closer to 1. 

the probability of hitting inside the circle is about

= 1 - .04 = 0.96  

Really close to 1.
