The bullseye accounts for about 1% of the dartboard.

The probability of hitting a bullseye will be 0.01.

The expected number of times that the dart will hit the bullseye can be calculated using the formula:


EV=x\cdot P(x)

where x is the number of times the dart hits the target.

Therefore, for 270 times, the expected number of times the bullseye will be hit will be:


EV=270*0.01=2.7

Approximately, the bullseye will be hit 3 times.
