Brenda throws a dart at this square-shaped target: 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)

A. Closer to 0

B. Closer to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for dart

First, calculate the area of the black circle using:

Where

So:

Next, the area of the white portion.

This is calculated by subtracting the area of the circle from the area of the square.

The area of the square is:

So, the area of the white portion is:

Solving (a): Hitting the black circle

The probability is calculated as:

By observation, it is closer to 0 than it is to 1.

Solving (b): Hitting the white portion

The probability is calculated as:

By observation, it is closer to 1 than it is to 0.
