Answer: a) The probability that a randomly selected high school student plays organized sports = 0.17
b) The randomly selected high school student is unlikely to play organized sports.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A survey of 400 randomly selected high school students determined that 68 play organized sports.
Then , the probability that a randomly selected high school student plays organized sports is given by :-
[tex]\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}\\\\=\dfrac{68}{400}=0.17[/tex]
In percent , the probability that a randomly selected high school student plays organized sports is 17%.
since 17% lies in the interval of unlikely events (0%, 25%).
It means that the randomly selected high school student is unlikely to play organized sports.
