first answer would be 0 and the second would be 1

Dale Hebert · Answer 2

Since the area of the circle is only 3.14. that means 3.14 out of one hundred units can be hit. so you have a 3.14% chance of hitting the circle in the middle. SO the probability is very close to 0.

100 - 3.14 = 96.86, so we have a 97 percent chance (approximately) of landing in the white space, This is very close to one.
