10% of the students ski and do not wake board

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students is 120. 28 students ski while 52 students wake board. 16 of the students ski and wake board.

Let S represent students who ski and W represent those who wake board also W' represent those who do not wake board.

Therefore:

S = 28

W = 52

n = total number of student = 120

S ∩ W = those who ski and wake board = 16

Those who ski and do not wake board = S ∩ W' = S - (S ∩ W) = 28 - 16 = 12

Probability of those who ski and do not wake board = (S ∩ W') / n = 12 / 120 = 0.1 = 10%
