Question

Find the probability that a randomly selected point within the circle falls in the red shaded area

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability  that a randomly selected point within the circle falls in the red shaded area is 1/3 or 0.33.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided for answering correctly the question:

Degrees of the red shaded area = 60° * 2 = 120°

Degrees of the circle = 360°

2. Let's find out the probability that a randomly selected point within the circle falls in the red shaded area.

Let's recall that any full circle has 360 degrees and the shaded area measures 120 degrees.

Thus,

Probability  that a randomly selected point within the circle falls in the red shaded area = 120/360

Probability  that a randomly selected point within the circle falls in the red shaded area = 1/3 = 0.33
