Two different football teams, football team A and football team B, attended a tournament.
12% of the attendees were coaches, the rest were players.
47% of the attendees were from football team A.
48% of the attendees were players from football team B.
One of the attendees is selected at random. Find the probability that they are a coach from football team A.
Answer:
First we need to find out the number of coaches from football team B.
As the total of attendees from both teams must equal 100%, then:
Coaches from team B = 100% – 47% – 48% = 5%
As we know that the coaches accounted for 12% of the attendees, then:
Coaches from team A = 12% -5% = 7%
