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)

Respuesta :

The probability of hitting the black circle inside the target is close to 0, and the probability of hitting the white portion is close to 1.

Given:

The square's length is 10 units.

The circle's diameter is equal to two units.

To Determine:

It is necessary to determine the probability that the target's white section and black circle will both be hit.

Solution:

The square's area is 10 x 10 or 100 units.

The shaded circle's area is given by  πr² = 3.14 (1)² = 3.14 units.

The white area has a surface area of (100 - 3.14) = 96.86 units.

Probability of an event = The number of favorable events /Total number of events

The probability that it will occur in the shaded area = 3.14/100 = 0.0314  (The probability is close to 0).

The probability of hitting the white section is equal = 96.86/100= 0.9686.

(The probability is quite near to 1)

Hence, the probability of hitting the black circle inside the target is close to 0, and the probability of hitting the white portion is close to 1.
