What I know
There are 30 kids in the classroom21 students were baseball fans
9 students were non baseball fans
At least 1 Baseball and non baseball fan was absent
So 29 and 8 Is the maximum for baseball and non baseball fans
More than half of the class was absent so 16 is the least possible number
The probability of asking a baseball fan a question was 3/4
So if at least 1 baseball fan and non fan was absent, more than half of the class was absent, and the probability of asking a baseball fan a question is 3/4 then there are 3 different options for the number of students that were absent that morning.
1.) 12/16 12 baseball fans 4 non baseball fans
2.) 15/20 15 baseball fans 5 non baseball fans
3.) !8/24 18 baseball fans 6 non baseball fans
So in general there was some information to find 3 different possibilities of how many students were absent which was 4, 5, or 6 but not enough to know one exact answer so no there was not enough information to know exactly how many students were absent that morning.
