We will investigate the use of Venn diagrams to determine the respective probabilities.
A Algebra 2 class consists of total students ( T ):

We will define two sports events ( A ) and ( B ) as follows:

We will define the respective proportions of students associated with each event using set notations.



We will construct a venn Diagram to grasp the entire distribution of events in the Algebra class:
From the above venn diagram and using the law of probabilities i.e all probabilities concerning a universal set must add up to 1.


We will use the above universal law of probabilities to determine the probability that a randomly chosen student from the class plays both basketball and baseball ( A & B ):
