Answer:
The percentage of the athletes who play baseball also play basketball is 40 %.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A is the event that athlete plays baseball and B is the event that the athlete plays basketball,
According to the question,
The probability of being baseball player, P(A) = 60 % = 0.6
Also, the probability of being baseball player as well as basketball player, P(A∩B) = 24 % = 0.24,
Hence, the probability that athletes who play baseball also play basketball,
[tex]P(\frac{B}{A})=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}=\frac{0.24}{0.6}=0.4=40\%[/tex]
Therefore, the percentage of the athletes who play baseball also play basketball is 40%.
