Question

In the Ridgeland Park youth athletics program, 60% of athletes play baseball and 24% of athletes play baseball and basketball. What percentage of athletes who play baseball also play basketball?

Answer 1

24% is the answer...Hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer: 40%

Explanation:

Let A be the event that the athlete play baseball and B be the event that the athlete play basketball.

Given: The probability of athletes play baseball =
`P(A)=0.60`

The probability of athletes play baseball and basketball =
`P(B\cap A) = 0.24`

Then the probability that the athletes who play baseball also play basketball is given by :-

`P(B|A)=(P(B\cap A))/(P(A))\\\\\Rightarrow\ P(B|A)=(0.24)/(0.60)=0.4`

In percent ,
`0.4*100=40\%`

Hence, 40% of athletes who play baseball also play basketball.
