Question

At a high school,18% of the students play football and 6% of the students play afoot all and baseball. What is the probability that a student plays baseball given that he plays football

Answer 1

Answer:

1.08%

Step-by-step explanation:

When you solve problems like these you convert the percentages into fractions and multiply them together.

18%= 18/100 reduced------>     9/50

6% = 6/100 reduced------>  3/50

3/50 *  9/50 = 108/10000 reduced ------->  54/5000 reduced---->

27/2500.  The probability is 27/2500, or 1.08%
