In a class of 40 students, 19 play tennis, 20 play netball and 8 play both of these sports. A student is randomly chosen from the class. Determine the probability that the student plays tennis.

19/40 OR 0.475 OR 47.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the total number of 'favorable outcomes' by the number of total outcomes. Here, the number of 'favorable outcomes' is the number of students who play tennis, so 19. The total number of outcomes is 40 as there are 40 students. Therefore the probability a student plays tennis is 19/40, or 0.475 or 47.5%.

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
