Question

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 29 students, 5 of them play basketball and 6 of them play baseball. There are 20 students who play neither sphrt. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Number of students who play basketball and/or baseball = 29 - 20 = 9.

Number of students who play both basketball and baseball = 5 + 6 - 9 = 2.

Hence, the probability is 2/29.
