Answer:

P=2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

since there are 10 students who play neither sport over 30, this means 20 students play basketball or baseball or both! (among them 2 students who play both basketball and baseball)

∴ the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball is 20/30 and that equals 2/3 or 66.66%
