Question 12

A survey of university students found that 310\displaystyle \frac{3}{10}103​ of respondents play a competitive sport. When asked about their sleep patterns, 34\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}43​ stated they get at least 8 hours of sleep per night. Of those who get at least 8 hours of sleep, it was found that 1150\displaystyle \frac{11}{50}5011​ also play a competitive sport.

a.

Gets at least 8 hours of sleep and plays a competitive sport.

[2]
b.
