so 24 play volleyball?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 30 play baasketball?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

n(V or B) = (a+b) + (b+c), but we have counted b twice, so we have to subtract it out

baseball*

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so this seems fair to me \[\frac{200(.12)+200(.15)-4}{200}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 8

OpenStudy (amistre64):

8 is not a valid probability, should be between 1 and 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.35?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

.12 + .15 - 4/200 .12 + .15 - 1/50 im getting .25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):
