Question

Answer 1

24% is the answer...Hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer: 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the athlete play baseball and B be the event that the athlete play basketball.

Given: The probability of athletes play baseball =$P(A)=0.60$

The probability of athletes play baseball and basketball =$P(B\cap A) = 0.24$

Then the probability that the athletes who play baseball also play basketball is given by :-

$P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(B\cap A)}{P(A)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ P(B|A)=\dfrac{0.24}{0.60}=0.4$

In percent , $0.4\times100=40\%$

Hence, 40% of  athletes who play baseball also play basketball.
