Answer:

29/61

Explanation:

okay, first imma simplify the question a little bit.

122 students; 46 chose football; 18 chose tennis; 28girls + xboys chose running.

okay now let's find the number of students who chose running

122 - 46 - 18 = 58

now, I'll find the probability

P(Running) = 58/122 = 29/61
