Question

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 23 students, 11 of them play basketball and 6 of them play baseball. There are 8 students who play neither sport. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball?

Answer 1

23 - 8 = 15 students play at least one of the sports.

11 + 6 + 8 - 23 = 25 - 23 = 2 students play both basketball and baseball.

P(student plays both sports) = 2/23
