22 students in the class play both sports. It means that 142=1214-2=12 students play only basketball and 72=57-2=5 students play only baseball. Thus, there are 2+12+5=192+12+5=19 students that play basketball or baseball. The probability that a randomly chosen student plays basketball or baseball is 19280.6786\frac{19}{28}\approx0.6786. (it is rounded to 44 decimal places)

Answer: 0.67860.6786. (it is rounded to 44 decimal places)
