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: $\frac{5}{9}$
