Question

If the total area of a dartboard is 804 in2 and the area of the bull's-eye is 50in2, what is the probability that a dart that randomly hits the dartboard will hit the bull's-eye?

Answer 1

6.2%, option A.

Explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

The desired area to hit is of 50 in², while the total area is of 804 in². Thus, the probability of hitting the bull's-eye is:

`p = (50)/(804) = 0.062`

0.062*100% = 6.2%.

6.2%, option A.
