Question

63 students choose to attend one of three after school activities: football, tennis or running.

There are 24 boys.
20 students choose football, of which 12 are girls.
17 students choose tennis.
22 girls choose running.
A student is selected at random.
What is the probability this student chose running?
Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

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
