Question

In a group of 36 pupils, 10 play the flute only. 15 play the piano only. 4 play neither instrument. A student is selected at random. What is the probability the student plays both instruments?

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

First you would need to subtract all the irrelevant students.

So, subtract 4 from 36, which is 34.

34 - (10 + 15) =

34 - 25 =

9

The answer is 9 pupils.
