E. 1-pi/8
Given: A circle is inscribed in
a square. So if the side of Square is
a, then
a is the diameter of circle.
Area of Circle =
πa24Area of Square =
a2Expected outcome is dart to land on the area that's out of circle but still within square, which is =
a2−πa24and probability of expected is Expected/Total outcome =
(a2−πa24)/a2=1−π4Answer is B)
