JAMB - Mathematics (2024 - No. 16)

The Venn diagram above shows the number of students offering physics and chemistry in a class of 65. What is the probability that a student selected from the class offers physics and chemistry if every students offers at least one subject?

\(\frac{2}{13}\)
\(\frac{5}{13}\)
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{3}{13}\)

Explanation

65 = 30 -x + x + 45 - x 

65 - 75 = 10 = x  ( number of students offering both subjects)

Pr( \(\text{students offering both subjects}\)) = \(\frac{10}{65}\) = \(\frac{2}{13}\)
