Answer:
The probability is 0.89 or 89%
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability
There are n=27 students in a certain Algebra 2 class. 18 out of them play basketball and 16 of them play baseball.
We also know 3 students play neither sport. This leaves 27-3=24 students playing sports.
The probability that a randomly chosen student plays basketball or baseball is:
[tex]\displastyle p=\frac{24}{27}[/tex]
Simplifying:
[tex]\displastyle p=\frac{8}{9}=0.89[/tex]
The probability is 0.89 or 89%
