A dart board consisting of concentric circles of
radius 1, 2 and 3 units is
placed against a wall. Upon throwing a dart,
which lands at some random location on the
board, a
player will receive $8.00 if the smaller circle is
hit, $ 6.00 if the middle annular region is hit
and
$ 4.00 if the outer annular region is hit.
However, should the player miss the dart board
altogther,
they would lose $ 7.00. The probability that the
player misses the dart board altogether is 0.5.
