There are in total of 40 students. 14 are taking Maths and 29 are taking computer. Therefore there have to be 3 students who are taking both the classes. So, 29 – 3 = 26 students are taking only Computer. So probability = 26/40 = 13/20 = 65%
It looks like you're trying to calculate the probability of students taking only Computer classes based on the given numbers. However, let's clarify the situation step by step.
1. **Total Students**: 40
2. **Students taking Maths**: 14
3. **Students taking Computer**: 29
4. **Students taking both Maths and Computer**: 3
From this information, we can determine the following:
- **Students taking only Computer**:
\[
\text{Students taking only Computer} = \text{Total Computer Students} - \text{Students taking both} = 29 - 3 = 26
\]
- **Students taking only Maths**:
\[
\text{Students taking only Maths} = \text{Total Maths Students} - \text{Students taking both} = 14 - 3 = 11
\]
- **Students taking neither subject**:
\[
\text{Students taking neither} = \text{Total Students} - (\text{Students taking only Computer} + \text{Students taking only Maths} + \text{Students taking both})
= 40 - (26 + 11 + 3)
= 40 - 40
= 0
\]
Now, the probability calculations you've performed seem to be for the scenario of choosing a student who is taking only Computer classes.
- The probability that a randomly selected student is taking only Computer classes is:
\[
P(\text{Only Computer}) = \frac{\text{Students taking only Computer}}{\text{Total Students}} = \frac{26}{40} = \frac{13}{20}
\]
This is indeed 65%.
So, your calculations are correct for finding the probability of selecting a student who takes only Computer classes: **65% (or \( \frac{13}{20} \))**.
