2. A dart board consists of five concentric circles. The width of each of the rings is the same. If a dart is randomly launched at the dart board and it lands on the board. What is the probability the dart lands in each region? A Warm Up Activity

3. A dart board consists of five concentric circles. The width of each of the rings is the same. If a dart is randomly thrown at the dart board and it lands on the board. What is the probability the dart lands in each region? LABELArea of Disk Aπ(1) 2 = 1π Bπ(2) 2 - π(1) 2 = 3π Cπ(3) 2 - π(2) 2 = 5π Dπ(4) 2 - π(3) 2 = 7π Eπ(5) 2 - π(4) 2 = 9π Totalπ(5) 2 = 25π Theoretical Solution Using Geometry Prob. 1/25=0.04 3/25=0.12 5/25=0.20 7/25=0.25 9/25=0.36

4. Can we simulate tossing a dart at this dart board through a probability experiment? Place labeled disks (or cubes) with the indicated number of disks into a bag. Draw one disk at a time, record result, return disk to the bag.
