A person is selected at random. What is the probability that the person uses exactly one of the facilities?

Answer 1

Explanation:

No of people using both gym and pool that is N( gup ) = 25

No of people using both track and pool that is N( tup ) = 30

No of people using both track and gym that is N( tug ) = 17

No of people using all that is N( gutup) = 6

No of people using two or three facilities

= 25+30+17- 2 x 6

= 60

Total no of people = 125

No of people using only one facility

= 125 - 60

= 65 .

Ratio of people using only one facility

= 65 / 125

.52

Required probability

= .52 .

probability that the person uses exactly one of the facilities

= .52
