Answer 1

Answer:

Part A:

The probability of hitting the black circle is the ratio between the area of the black circle and the white square (including the black circle)

Area of circle:

Ac = pi x r^2 = pi x (2/2)^2 = pi (diameter = 2)

Area of square:

As = side^2 = 11^2 = 121 (side = 11)

=> P = pi/121 = ~0.025 (P = 0.025 < 0.5 => P is closer to 0 than 1)

Part B:

The probability of hitting the white portion could be calculated in a similar way as shown in part A. However, the event of hitting the white portion is the complement event of the event of hitting the black circle.

Because P(event) + P(complement of event) = 1

=> P = 1 - 0.025 = 0. 975 (P = 0.975 > 0.5 => P is closer to 1 than 0)
