Bartender’s dartboard. You are not very good at darts, and the dart is
equally likely to land anywhere on this board, which has a radius of 45 cm.
(However, you are good enough that the dart always hits the board.)
What’s the PDF of the random variable R, “distance from the center”?

Probability that when you have thrown two darts, at least one of them lies 5-8 cm from the
center?
