Question

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 24 students, 16 of them play basketball and 7 of them play baseball. There are 5 students who play neither sport. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball?

Answer 1

Number who play at least one = total − neither = 24 − 5 = 19.
Probability = 19/24 ≈ 0.7917 (about 79.17%).
