We will investigate the use of Venn diagrams to determine the respective probabilities.

A Algebra 2 class consists of total students ( T ):

[tex]T\text{ = 29 students}[/tex]

We will define two sports events ( A ) and ( B ) as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A\text{ : Students who play basketball} \\ B\text{ : Students who play baseball} \end{gathered}[/tex]

We will define the respective proportions of students associated with each event using set notations.

[tex]\begin{gathered} A\text{ = 17 , B = 6} \\ p(A)=\frac{17}{29}\text{ , p ( B ) = }\frac{6}{29} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]A^{\prime}\text{ \& B' = 8 students}[/tex][tex]p\text{ ( A' \& B' ) = }\frac{8}{29}[/tex]

We will construct a venn Diagram to grasp the entire distribution of events in the Algebra class:

From the above venn diagram and using the law of probabilities i.e all probabilities concerning a universal set must add up to 1.

[tex]\text{Sum of all probabilities = 1}[/tex][tex]p\text{ ( A ) + p ( B ) - p ( A \& B ) + p ( A' \& B' ) = 1}[/tex]

We will use the above universal law of probabilities to determine the probability that a randomly chosen student from the class plays both basketball and baseball ( A & B ):

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{17}{29}\text{ + }\frac{6}{29}\text{ + }\frac{8}{29}\text{ - 1 = p ( A \& B )} \\ \\ \text{p ( A \& B ) = }\frac{31}{29}\text{ - 1} \\ \\ \text{p ( A \& B ) = }\frac{31\text{ - 29}}{29}\text{ = }\frac{2}{29} \\ \\ \text{p ( A \& B ) = }\frac{2}{29}\text{ = 0.069 }\ldots\text{ Answer} \end{gathered}[/tex]
