The circle with Centre O is divided into three sectors are shown in the figure Centre angle at the first sector 60 degree if we put a dot inside the circle without looking into it what is the probability of being in the first sector
Answers
Answer:
Total outcome = 360°

Answer:
the probability of a random dot being in the first sector of the circle is 1/6.
Given:
circle with Centre O is divided into three sectors
The central angle of the first sector = 60°
To find:
the probability of a random dot being in the first sector of the circle.
Solution:
we know that 'O' is the center of the circle.
a complete angle = 360°
the central angle of the first sector = 60°
let the probability of a random dot being in the first sector of the circle be x.
x = area of the first sector/ total area
since the central angle of the circle is 60/360 of the complete circle, we can say that the area of the first sector is 60/360 of the circle as well.
x = 60/ 360
x = 1/6
Hence, the probability of a random dot being in the first sector of the circle is 1/6.
