To find the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball, we need to find the total number of students who play basketball or baseball and divide it by the total number of students in the class.
Total number of students who play basketball or baseball = Number of students who play basketball + Number of students who play baseball - Number of students who play both
Total number of students who play basketball or baseball = 18 + 7 - 0 = 25
Total number of students = 28
Therefore, the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball is:
P(X plays basketball or baseball) = Number of students who play basketball or baseball / Total number of students
P(X plays basketball or baseball) = 25 / 28
P(X plays basketball or baseball) ≈ 0.892857
Therefore, the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball is approximately 0.892857 or 89.29%.
In a certain Algebra 2 class of 28 students, 18 of them play basketball and 7 of them play baseball. There are 6 students who play neither sport. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball?
