Question

A group of 45 students, 26 boys and 19 girls, are hanging out in the high school cafeteria after school, 11 boys play basketball and 7 girls play basketball.

What is the probability of randomly selecting a student who doesn't play basketball?

Answer 1

27 out of 45 (27/45)

Explanation:

1) 45 student = 26 boys and 19 girls

2) 11 boys + 7 girls = 18 students

3) Therefore the probability of not picking a basketball player would be 27 because 27 students do not play basketball.
