A target is constructed of a 6 ft diameter circular piece of plywood, on which a 2 ft diameter circle was painted. If a person i

s blindfolded, randomly throws a ball and hits the target, what is the probability they also hit within the smaller circle?

Answer:

The probability of the dart hitting the inner circle is 11.2 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we first need to find the area of the whole target and the area of the smaller target. Since they're both circular, their area is given by the formula:

area = pi*r²

For the whole target:

area target = pi*(6/2)² = 28.26 ft²

For the inner target:

area inner = pi*(2/2)² = 3.14 ft²

The probability that the dart will hit the inner area is:

p = area inner / area target = 3.14 / 28.26 = 0.112

The probability of the dart hitting the inner circle is 11.2 %.

A case in riverhead, new york, nine different crime victims listened to voice recordings of five different men. all nine victims
Alexus [3.1K]

the complete question in the attached figure

1) Find the probability that all nine victims would select the same person. You should enter your answer as a decimal, not as a percent. Do not round, as your answer should be a terminating decimal.

P=(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)=0.000000512

2) what is the probability that the first victim picks SOMEONE? ANYONE? 

P=(1/5)=0.20  ---------------- > 20%

3) Now let’s look at victim #2. What is the probability that they pick the same person as victim #1?

P=(1/5)*(1/5)=0.04 --------------> 4%

4) Now let’s look at victim #3. What is the probability that they pick the same person as victim #1?

P=(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)=0.008 --------------> 0.8%

5) Now let's look at victim #9. What is the probability that they pick the same person as victim #1? 

P=(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)=0.000000512

6) Once you find all those probabilities, what rule would apply?

the probability is given by (1/5)^n

n=number of victims that pick the same person---------> in this problem = 9

P=(1/5)^9= 0.000000512

bixtya [17]

By plunging 5 into the equation as x, you have the equation

7(5) - 15

7 * 5 = 35 so

35 - 15

f(5) = 20
