Answer:

  a. closer to 0

  b. closer to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>(a)</h3>

For questions like this, we need to assume that dart landing positions are uniformly distributed across the area. Then the probability of a dart landing in a given area is the ratio of that area to the area of the entire target.

For the purpose of answering "closer to 0 or to 1", an estimate of the probability is sufficient. It is not so close to 1/2 that we need to be extra careful in the computation.

Here, the probability of landing a dart in the black circle is less than the probability of it landing in a 2" square. The ratio of the area of that square to the target area is the square of the ratio of the dimensions, so is ...

  (2/11)² = 4/121 ≈ 1/30.

This is closer to 0 than to 1.

__

<h3>(b)</h3>

Then the proportion of the target that is white is greater than 1 - 1/30 = 29/30, which is much closer to 1 than to zero.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

For the black circle to cover half the target area, it would have to have a diameter of about 8.78 inches. The probability of hitting that black circle will be closer to 0 for any diameter less than 8.78 inches.

  π(8.78/2)² ≈ 11²/2

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Area of the square</u>  = l*w = 11*11 = 121  

<u>Area of the circle</u>  = pi r^2 = pi*1^2 =  3.142

<u>Part A</u>

P(hitting the circle) = 3.142 / 121  =  0.026 which is closer to 0.

<u>Part B</u>

P(hitting the outside portion)  = 1 - 0.026 = 0.974 which is closer to 1.

Answer:

Neither.

Step-by-step explanation:

you are correct about the pattern, so it's not adding the same number and not multiplying by the same number. So it's neither.

pochemuha

Answer:

Length = 12 inches, height = 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to set up a proportion. 2/7, x/42.

Then, you cross multiply and get the setup of 84=7x

Finally, you divide 84 by 7 and get 12.

12 is the length, and there is no other answer that has 12 in the height. You could just do the same proportion to get 3, though.
