In a certain Algebra 2 class of 25 students, 6 of them play basketball and 12 of them play baseball. There are 11 students who play neither sport. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball?

If x play both, then

6+12-x = 25-11
x = 4
P(both) = 4/25

Well, if we combine the number of students who play basketball and baseball, we have a total of 6 + 12 = 18 students. But we also know that there are 11 students who play neither sport.

So, to find the number of students who play both basketball and baseball, we can subtract the number of students who play neither sport from the total number of students who play both sports: 18 - 11 = 7.

Now, to find the probability, we divide the number of students who play both sports by the total number of students in the class: 7 / 25 ≈ 0.28.

So, the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball is approximately 0.28. But hey, don't be a mean clown and forget to invite the student to join your circus act!

To find the probability that a student plays both basketball and baseball, we need to know the number of students who play both and the total number of students in the class.

To determine the number of students who play both sports, we need to subtract the number of students who play neither from the total number of students.

The total number of students in the class is given as 25.

The number of students who play neither sport is given as 11.

Therefore, the number of students who play both basketball and baseball can be found by subtracting 11 from 25:

25 - 11 = 14

So, there are 14 students who play both basketball and baseball.

To calculate the probability, we divide the number of students who play both sports (14) by the total number of students in the class (25):

Probability = Number of students who play both sports / Total number of students

Probability = 14 / 25

Therefore, the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball is 14/25.
