Answer:
<u>A. Probability of Russell = 12/37 or 32.4% (Rounding to the next tenth)</u>
<u>B. Probability of Peter = 5/74 or 6.8% (Rounding to the next tenth)</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Guard Forward Center Totals
Over 6 feet 25 30 30 85
Under 6 feet 130 120 35 285
Totals 155 150 65 370
2. Russell is 5'9". What is the probability he is a forward?
Probability = Number of forwards under 6 feet/Total number of players
Probability = 120/370
Probability = 12/37 or 32.4% (Rounding to the next tenth)
3. Peter is 6'2". What is the probability he is a guard?
Probability = Number of guards over 6 feet/Total number of players
Probability = 25/370
Probability = 5/74 or 6.8% (Rounding to the next tenth)
