Question

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 29 students, 7 of them play basketball and 14 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 basketball or baseball?

Answer 1

Answer:

72.41% chance of picking a student that plays basketball or baseball.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{21}{29} = 0.724137931$

Convert the decimal into a percent, and there's your answer!

If there are 31 students in the class, then the answer would be a 67.74% chance of picking a student that plays basketball or baseball. Just in case.
