Question

1. a bakery makes pies and muffins in chocolate, blueberry, or peach. if you tell the baker to randomly choose a treat for you, what is the likelihood youll get a chocolate muffin?

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total number of treats

There are 2 types of treats (pies, muffins) and 3 flavors (chocolate, blueberry, peach). So total number of treats is \(2\times3 = 6\).

Step2: Determine number of chocolate muffins

There is 1 type of treat (muffin) and 1 flavor (chocolate), so number of chocolate muffins is \(1\times1 = 1\).

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability of getting a chocolate muffin is number of chocolate muffins divided by total number of treats, so \(\frac{1}{6}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{6}\)
