Question

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 28 students, 14 of them play basketball and 7 of them

play baseball. There are 2 students who play both sports. What is the probability tha
a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball?

Answer 1

Answer: 19/28

Explanation:

p(student plays basketball)= 14/28

p(student plays baseball)= 7/28

2 students play both sports= 2/28

⇒ 14/28+ 7/28 - 2/28 = 19/28
