Answers

  1. Answer:
    5/9
    Step-by-step explanation:
    From the information, 8 are more than 6 feet tall and 7 have good aim.
    Therefore, the probability that the coach would randomly pick a player over 6 feet tall or a player with a good aim will be:
    = 8/27 + 7/27
    = 15/27
    = 5/9
