for a certain class, the following data table compares how many students play an instrument or a sport. what is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays a sport or an instrument?

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: <Calculate total number of students>

Total number of students (=4 + 9+8 + 5=26)

Step2: <Calculate number of students who play a sport or an instrument>

Number of students who play a sport or an instrument (=4+9 + 8=21)

Step3: <Calculate the probability>

Probability (P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}=\frac{21}{26})

Answer:

(\frac{21}{26})
