Question

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 28 students, 14 of them play basketball and 7 of them

play baseball. There are 2 students who play both sports. What is the probability that
a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball?

Answer 1

23/28

Explanation:

Answer 2

p(student plays basketball or baseball) =
`(19)/(28)`

Explanation:

p(student plays basketball)=
`(14)/(28\\)`

p(student plays baseball)=
`(7)/(28)`

2 students play both sports=
`(2)/(28)`

⇒
`(14)/(28) +(7)/(28) -(2)/(28) =(19)/(28)`
