Question

A coin is dropped at random on the grid. Then another coin is dropped on the grid. What is the probability that both coins fall in the shaded region?

a. 2/9
b. 4/81
c. 4/9
d. 1/81

Answer 1

e answer is 1/81

Explanation:

Answer 2

In the picture, we could see that the grid's dimension is 6 by 6. Therefore, there were 6 times 6 equal 36 squares where the coin can be dropped. Solving for the probability that coin will fall in the shaded region, we have:
Probability = 8/36
Probability = 2 / 9

The answer is the letter "a" which is 2/9.
