A survey of 100 randomly selected high school students determined that 51 play organized sports. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected high school student plays organized sports? (b) Interpret this probability.

(a) 0.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of Selected Students = 100

Number who play organized Sports=51

We are to determine the Probability that a student selected at random plays organised sports.

Probability=Number of Required Outcome : Total Number of Outcome.

(a) P (a student plays organised sports) = 51:100=0.51

(b) A probability of 0.51 means that there is a 51% chance that a student selected at random plays organised sports. The chances a just a little higher than the probability that a student does not play organized sports.
