Answer:

12%

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find the probability that someone is in the brass section and play trombone.

To do this, we can multiply the probability of someone being in the brass section and the probability of someone playing trombone.


0.5*0.24=0.12

Therefore, it is 12% that a randomly selected band members is in the brass section and plays trombone.
