1 answer

(a) The probability that a randomly selected high school student plays organized sports can be calculated by dividing the number of students who play organized sports by the total number of students surveyed.

131/300 = 0.4367

So, the probability is 0.4367 or 43.67%.

(b) This probability suggests that there is a 43.67% chance that any randomly selected high school student plays organized sports.
