d. p(dart hitting a shaded region) if the dart is randomly thrown and hits the target at right.

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Count total squares

The target is a 3x3 grid, so there are $3\times3 = 9$ total squares.

Step2: Count shaded squares

There are 5 shaded squares.

Step3: Calculate probability

The probability $P$ of the dart hitting a shaded region is the number of shaded squares divided by the total number of squares. So $P=\frac{5}{9}$.

Answer:

$\frac{5}{9}$
