Answer:

Probability that a randomly selected student plays sport and is in band = 1/50

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students= 1900

Percentage of those that play sport and are in band = 2%

Hence those that play sport and are in band = 2/100 x 1900 = 38 students

Probability that a randomly selected student plays sport and is in band = 38/1900 = 1/50
