Question

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 30 students, 18 of them play basketball and 9 of them play baseball. There are 10 students who play neither sport. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball?

Answer 1

Answer: 7/30

Step-by-step explanation:

People who played baseball and basketball: 7

Total people in the class: 30

Probability: 7/30

Answer 2

Number of students who play both baseball and basketball = 18+9+10-30 = 7

Probability that a student plays both sports = 7/30 = 0.233 = 23.3%
