Verified Answer :

Answer:

\(\frac{2}{5}\) is the required probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability P(A or B) when A and B are mutually exclusive events is P(A) + P(B)

Here A is the event hitting a Bull's eye

and B is the event  throwing dart into 10 point ring.

The probability that he throws a dart into the center of the dart board (the Bull’s eye) = \(\frac{1}{10}\).

The probability that he throws the dart into the 10-point ring = \(\frac{3}{10}\)

Required probability = \(\frac{1}{10}\)+ \(\frac{3}{10}\) = \(\frac{4}{10}\) =  \(\frac{2}{5}\)
