Answer:

512

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of 7th graders in the school is x.

As three-quarters of them play at least one sport, so, the number of 7th graders who play sport = \frac 3 4 x.

Among the 7th graders who play sports, half of them play more than one sport. So, the number of 7th graders who play more than one sport = \frac 1 2\times \frac 3 4 x=\frac 3 8 x.

Among the 7th graders who play more than one sport, one-third of them play more than two sports. So, the number of 7th graders who play more than two sport = \frac 1 3\times \frac 3 8 x=\frac 1 8 x.

Among the 7th graders who play more than two sports, one-quarter of them play more than three sports.

So, the number of 7th graders who play more than three sport = \frac 1 4\times \frac 1 8 x=\frac{1}{32} x.

7th graders play more than three sports at the school= 16

\Rightarrow \frac{1}{32} x=16

\Rightarrow x =16 \times 32

\Rightarrow x = 512

Hence, the total numbers of 7th graders in the school are 512.

(a) ^{6}C_1 * ^{6}C_1 = 36 different possibilities
(b) P(even die 1): \frac{1}{2}
P(even die 2): \frac{1}{2}

So, there is a 1 in 4 chance that both dice will show an even.
