Answer

Probability that the player is white or a center is: $P$(player being white or center) = $\frac{118}{368}$ = $32.0652$%

Work Step by Step

Probability( an event) = No of Favorable outcomes / Total no of outcomes. Total outcomes = Total players = 368. Favorable outcomes = Player being White or forward Let player being white be Event 'A' and player being a forward be Event 'B' Favorable outcomes = N(A U B) = N(A) +P(B) - N (A ∩ B) N(A U B) = N(A) +N(B) - N(A ∩ B) N(A U B) = 84+62-28 N(A U B) = 118.
