In a certain algebra 2 class of 30 students, 12 of them play basketball and 17 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 both basketball and baseball?

The probability of students playing both basketball and baseball =

Step-by-step explanation:

Total strength of class = 30 students

Number of students who play basketball = 12

Number of students who play baseball = 17

Number of students who play neither sport = 5

Number of students that play either sport = = 25

Number of students who play both sports will be given as:

⇒ Number of students playing basketball + Number of students playing baseball - Number of students playing either

⇒

⇒

Thus probability of students playing both basketball and baseball is given as:

⇒

⇒

Dividing numerator and denominator by 2 to reduce to simplest fraction.

⇒ (Answer)

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
