In a high school, 28% of the school’s population is seventeen years old. Of the students who are seventeen years old, 44% play a sport. One student at the high school is chosen at random to represent the school at a community event. What is the probability that the selected student will be seventeen years old and not play a sport?
Since 44% of the 28% play sport subtract 44 from 100 to see how many of the 28% do not play sports and you get 56%. So multiply 56% and 28% and you get 15.68%.
