Question

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 26 students, 21 of them play basketball and 7 of them

play baseball. There are 2 students who play neither sport. What is the probability
that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball?

Answer 1

To find the probability that eight of the players on the intramural basketball team will be boys, we need to determine the number of ways to choose 8 boys from 15 and 2 girls from 12, divided by the total number of ways to choose 10 players from 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that eight of the players on the intramural basketball team will be boys, we need to determine the number of ways to choose 8 boys from 15 and 2 girls from 12, divided by the total number of ways to choose 10 players from 27.

The group of interest is selecting 8 boys and 2 girls for the basketball team.

The sample is the total number of possible ways to choose 10 players from the group of 27.
