Solution 1
Part I Make a prediction first, by looking at the picture. Area of region 1/Total area = probability of a dart landing in region 1. Because probability = desired outcome/all possible outcomes. Area of region 1= 1*1=1 ft2. Total area =3*3=9ft2. Area of region 1/Total area =1 ft2/9ft2=1/9= Discussion: What does the answer mean? Does this answer seem reasonable? Part II Since Region 1 is 1/9 of the total area, region 2 must be 8/9 of the
area. So the probability of a dart, thrown at random, landing in region
2 is 8/9 or |
