Question

Of the 27 players trying out for the school basketball team, 8 are more than 6 feet tall and 7 have good aim. What is the probability that the coach would randomly pick a player over 6 feet tall or a player with a good aim? Assume that no players over 6 feet tall have good aim.

Answer 3

Well, 8/27 are 6ft tall and 7/27 have good aim. Together, they are 15/27, meaning you have about a 56% chance of one of them being chosen.

Answer 4

Now you have to reduce that fraction 15/27 divided by 3 is 5/9.
