What is Probability?

Probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring.

$\rm Probability=\dfrac{Desired\ Outcomes}{Total\ Number\ of\ outcomes\ possible}$

The area of the dark area = 3cm × 3cm = 9cm²

The area of the white area = (18cm×18cm)-(3cm×3cm) = 315cm²

Now, the probability that the dart will hit a spot in the shaded square will be,

Probability = 9 / 315 = 0.028

Hence, the probability that the dart will hit a spot in the shaded square is 0.028.
