Question

Out of the 125 children at summer camp, 45 signed up for swimming and 38 signed up for arts and crafts. Twelve students who signed up for swimming also signed up for arts and crafts. If a child is randomly selected, what is the probability that they are signed up for swimming, if it is known that they did not sign up for arts and crafts? Please help!​

Answer 1

Answer:33/125

Explanation:

First, you subtract 12 from 45, because there were 45 who signed up for swimming and 12 of them also signed up for arts and crafts. So, there are 33 children, out of the 125, who only signed up for swimming. Which means there is a 33/125 chance that a child who only signed up for swimming is randomly selected.
