The game of baseball darts is played on a square board marked like a baseball diamond. Each side of the diamond is 15 inches long. The bases are 3.5 inch squares in each corner. There is a home-run circle in the center with a diameter of 2 inches. “Hits” are made by landing on the bases or in the home-run circle. Landing anywhere else in the diamond is considered an “out”. Mona is blindfolded and throws a dart which lands on the board in a random manner. What is the probability that she is “out”?
