If the total area of a dartboard is 30,000 mm2 and the area of the bull's-eye is 1000 mm2, what is the probability of getting a bull's-eye?

A. 6%
B. 3%
C. 33%
D. 25%

Respuesta :

chances of hitting bull's-eye is [tex] \frac{1000}{30,000} [/tex] that =[tex] \frac{1}{30} [/tex] 1-:30= 0.03= 3% 

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the total area of a dartboard is 30,000 mm² and the area of the bull's-eye is 1000 mm².

The probability of getting a bull's-eye is

[tex]\text{Probability of getting a bull's-eye}=\frac{\text{Area of the bull's-eye}}{\text{Total area}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Probability of getting a bull's-eye}=\frac{1000}{30000}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Probability of getting a bull's-eye}=\frac{1}{30}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Probability of getting a bull's-eye}=0.0333\approx 3\%[/tex]

Therefore the correct option is B.
