Answer 1

Answer:

The probability is 0.89 or 89%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability

There are n=27 students in a certain Algebra 2 class. 18 out of them play basketball and 16 of them play baseball.

We also know 3 students play neither sport. This leaves 27-3=24 students playing sports.

The probability that a randomly chosen student plays basketball or baseball is:

$\displastyle p=\frac{24}{27}$

Simplifying:

$\displastyle p=\frac{8}{9}=0.89$

The probability is 0.89 or 89%
