Answer:

the probability of the student chose running is 26 ÷ 63

Explanation:

The computation of the probability of the student chose running is shown below:

= (Total students - football selected - tennis selected) ÷ (Total students)

= (63 - 20 - 17) ÷ 63

= 26 ÷ 63

Hence, the probability of the student chose running is 26 ÷ 63
