Answer:
The probability of a dart (thrown at random) landing in the area marked F is:
1/16
Explanation:
We know that the probability of an outcome is defined as the chance of occurrence of an outcome and it is calculated as the ratio of number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.
We first make equal sections i.e. we divide the figure into equal sections and observe that:
A and D is made up of 4 sections.
B,C and E is made up of 2 sections.
F and G are made up of 1 section.
This means that the total number of sections are: 4+4+2+2+2+1+1=16
Hence,
Probability(landing on F)=1/16
( Since there are total 16 sections and F is made up of 1 )
