Question 881066: Not really a straight up problem, but I need to figure this out for an ISU. How would I calculate the probability of someone being overweight? I have 30 people in a survey with all their BMI's in a table. I am being told to use combinations and permutations.
Thanks!

Has your teacher told you that?
Because calculating the probability is normally just the amount of people overweight in the survey divided by the amount of people you questioned, you don't need combinations or permutations for this.
