108 students choose to attend one of three after school activities: football, tennis or running. There are 40 boys. 37 students choose football, of which 26 are girls. 39 students choose tennis. 12 girls choose running. A student is selected at random. What is the probability this student chose running? Give your answer in its simplest form.

8/27

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we figure out how many students chose each school activity, so that we can find the probability of a student at random choosing running by putting (total running students)/(all students).

39 students chose tennis, as stated in the problem.

37 students chose football, as stated in the problem.

The total number of students who chose running must therefore be the the students who chose tennis and football, subtracted from the total number of students. 108 - 39 - 37 = 32, so 32 students chose running.

Therefore, the probability that a student at random chose running would be 32/108 or 8/27.

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.

25/14 or 1.
