    20/28 = 5/7

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1:

    Total number of students in the algebra class is 28

    Given that the number of students who play neither sport = 8

    Step 2:

    Probability that a student randomly chosen does not play any sport is obtained by number of students who play neither sport / total number of students

    Hence probability is 8/28

    Step 3:

    The probability that a student randomly chosen plays either basketball or base ball = 1 - 8/28 = 20/28 = 5/7
