Question

q31.) pablo enters the local deli to order a sandwich for lunch. he can choose between white or wheat bread, swiss or cheddar cheese, and turkey, ham or tuna for his meat. what is the probability pablo will choose cheddar cheese?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total cheese - choices

There are 2 types of cheese (Swiss and cheddar), so the total number of cheese - choices is 2.

Step2: Calculate probability

The probability of choosing cheddar cheese is the number of favorable outcomes (choosing cheddar) divided by the total number of outcomes (all cheese choices). Since there is 1 favorable outcome (choosing cheddar) and 2 total outcomes (Swiss and cheddar), the probability $P=\frac{1}{2}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$
