Answer:
0.0816
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Total number of students = 5000
- Number of students taking an online class = 1200
- Number of students prefer watching baseball to football = 1700
Let O = Students taking an online class
Let B = Students prefer watching baseball to football
Therefore,
P(O) = 1200/5000 = 0.24
P(B) = 1700/5000 = 0.34
If events O and B are independent,
⇒ P(O ∩ B) = P(O) · P(B)
= 0.24 × 0.34
= 0.0816
