Question

In a school of 450 students, 110 of them are in the choir, 240 of them are in the band and 60 students are in the choir and the band Find the probability that a student chosen at random is in the choir or band or both

Answer 1

29/45 ≈ 0.644

Explanation:

There are 450 students in total

110-60=50 students are only in the choir

240-60=180 students are only in the band

60 students are in both

160 students are neither in the band nor in the choir

So the chance of being in either is (50+60+180)/450 = 29/45 ≈ 0.644
