Problem
Bobby is going to throw 20 darts at the dartboard shown below. It is formed by 4 concentric circles, with radii of and
, with the largest circle being inscribed in a square. Each point on the dartboard has an equally likely chance of being hit by a dart, and Bobby is guaranteed to hit the dartboard. Each region is labeled with its point value (the number of points Bobby will get if he hits that region). The expected number of points Bobby will get after throwing the 20 darts can be expressed as
where
. Find
.
Solution
The probability of a dart getting 70 points is , the probability of a dart getting
points is
, the probability of a dart getting
points is
, and the probability of a dart getting
points is
. This means that on a random throw, the expected number of points Bobby gets is
. After 20 throws, Bobby is expected to get

spot is
. The probability of getting a dart in the
spot is
. The probability of getting a dart in the
spot is
. This gives a result of
