You are playing darts and want to hit the bullseye. assumingthe bullseye has a 1 inch diameter, and the dart board has a 14 inch diameter, what is the theoretical probability of hitting the bullseye?

Neglecting many many things and only using target area as criteria, I guess one would say .25/49 or .0051.

Oh, im doing this is Geometry right now.
Well, you find the area od the two circles-pi times (Radius squared)
Area of bullseye =1.55
area of board=15386, so you divide those adn get the probability, which is not even a half percent!

Assuming that you will randomly hit anywhere on the dartboard, the probability would be 1/196, since your success is that part of the total area.
