Question

9. At a high school, 40% of the students play an instrument. Of those students, 20% are freshmen. Of the students who do not play an instrument, 30% are freshmen. What is the probability that a student selected at random is a freshman who plays an instrument? ​

Answer 1

0.6%

Explanation:

40% is the percentange of how many students play an instrument. (the whole) 20% is how many freshmen play. (part)

30% are the freshmen. 30% is over 100%.

20 x 100= 2000 and 40 x 30= 1200.

With the answers we got (2000 and 1200) we divide!!

2000÷1200=0.6

Which means the probabillity that the student is a random freshmen is 0.6% :)
