Question

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 27 students, 11 of them play basketball and 13 of them play baseball. There are 5 students who play neither sport. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball?

Answer 1

22/27

Explanation:

5 play nothing.

27 - 5 = 22

22 play basketball only or baseball only or both.

p(plays baseball or basketball) = 22/27
