Question

122 students choose to attend one of three after school activities: football, tennis or running. There are 66 boys. 46 students choose football, of which 23 are girls. 18 students choose tennis. 28 girls choose running. A student is selected at random. What is the probability this student chose running? Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

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
