Mathematics WAEC / WASSCE 2019 Statistics and Probability
A survey of 40 students showed that 23 students study Mathematics, 5 study Mathematics and Physics, 8 study Chemistry and Mathematics, 5 study Physics and Chemistry and 3 study all the three subjects. The number of students who study Physics only is twice the number who study Chemistry only. (a) Find the number of students who study: (i) only Physics. (ii) only one subject b) What is the probability that a student selected at random studies exactly 2 subjects?
