  43/120 ≈ 0.3583

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding up the folks who use two facilities counts the folks who use all three 3 times. So, the number who use two or more facilities is ...

  21 +16 +24 -2(9) = 43 . . . . people who use 2 or more facilities

The probability that a person chosen randomly from the 120 at the sports center uses at least 2 facilities is ...

 43/120 ≈ 0.3583

The given numbers add up as follows:

  Gym only: 42

  Pool only: 18

  Track only: 14

  Gym and Pool only: 12

  Gym and Track only: 15

  Pool and Track only: 7
