(1) All but 2 gyms in the area have a squash court.
(2) Each of the 9 gyms with a pool has a squash court.
Please help with this problem.
The probability that the gym will have both a swimming pool and a squash court = (Number of gyms that have both a swimming pool and a squash court)/12
We have to get the number of gyms that have both a swimming pool and a squash court.
S1: The statement implies that 10 gyms have squash court while 2 do not. We have no information about the number of gyms with pools. Insufficient.
S2: The statement implies that 'Number of gyms that have both a swimming pool and a squash court' = 9.
Thus, the probability that the gym will have both a swimming pool and a squash court = 9/12 = 3/4. Sufficient.
