In a class of 27 students, 12 play an instrument and 6 play a sport. There are 13 students who do not play an instrument or a sport. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays a sport?

Respuesta :

The probability of a student that plays sport is 6 over 27.

The probability of a student chosen plays a sport is [tex]\frac{6}{27}[/tex]

What is probability?

'Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 indicates impossibility of the event and 1 indicates certainty.'

According to the given problem,

Total number of students = 27

Number of students playing a sport = 6

Number of students playing an instrument = 12

Number of students no playing a sport or instrument = 13

Probability = [tex]\frac{No of possible events}{Total number of students}[/tex]

                  = [tex]\frac{6}{27}[/tex]

Hence, we can conclude that the probability of a student chosen plays a sport is [tex]\frac{6}{27}[/tex].
