Question

In a class of students, the following data table summarizes how many students play

an instrument or a sport. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly
from the class plays a sport or an instrument?

Answer 1

15/28

Explanation:

The total amount of students in the class is 28. This will be useful for later.

From this table, we can see that 2 people play sports alone and 13 play an instrument alone. Since it says the number of students that play a sport or an instrument, this means that the top left box is not counted. This leaves you with an answer of 15/28.

Answer 2

19/28

Explanation:

People who count: 4 + 2 + 13 = 19

Total amount of pplz: 19 + 9 = 28
