The diagram isn't attached. However, a rated diagram has been found and attached below.

Answer:

0.8611

Explanation:

The probability of an event involves taking the ratio of the required measurement and the entire measurement.

Based on information on the attached circle, the shaded region of the circle takes 310° of the entire 360°

Choosing a point at random from which nside the circle ;

P(shaded portion) = shaded section / total measure of circle

P(shaded point) = 310 / 360 = 0.8611
