A high school athlete has been offered football and track and field scholarships to multiple universities. For football, he has 3 offers in Alabama, 3 in North Carolina, and 2 in Florida. For track and field, he has 4 offers in Florida, 5 in Texas, and 4 in California.

The probability that he chooses to play football in North Carolina is?​

Answer 1

Total Offers:

3 + 3 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 4 = 21

Offers for football in NC = 3

Probability = 3/21 = 1/7

Answer 2

ANSWER:

Total outcomes = 3 + 3 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 4 = 21.

Favourable outcomes = 3.

So, P(he chooses to play football in NC) = 3/21

• 1/7
