at pedros pizzeria, there are three choices for crust: regular, thin or deep dish, and two choices for toppings: veggies or pepperoni. what is the probability that a customer will choose either a regular or thin crust pepperoni pizza?
a $\frac{1}{3}$
b $\frac{2}{5}$
c $\frac{1}{5}$
d $\frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

Step1: Find total pizza combinations

Total combinations = Crust choices × Topping choices = $3 \times 2 = 6$

Step2: Identify favorable outcomes

Favorable options: regular crust + pepperoni, thin crust + pepperoni. Count = 2

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability = $\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$

Answer:

A. $\frac{1}{3}$
