Question

Please help

In a class of 147 students, 95 are taking math (M), 73 are taking science (S), and 52 are taking both math and science. One student is picked at random. Find each probability.

P(taking math but not science)

Answer 1

The probability that a student taking only math will get picked is approximately 29%

Step-by-step explanation: This is because out of the total number of students taking math (95), 52 of such students are also taking science. In order to get the number of students only taking math you have to do 95-52=43 and to put that against the amount of total students the ratio would be 43:147 or 42/147 and if you plug 42/147 into a calculator you will recieve a long decimal that you can then round to 29%.
