Question

1. 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 choice. what is the probability that pablo will not choose ham? 4

$\frac{1}{3}$
$\frac{2}{3}$
8

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total and favorable meat - choices

There are 3 meat - choices (turkey, ham, tuna) in total. The number of non - ham meat choices is 2 (turkey and tuna).

Step2: Calculate the probability

The probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$, where $n(A)$ is the number of favorable outcomes and $n(S)$ is the total number of outcomes. Here, $n(A) = 2$ and $n(S)=3$. So the probability $P=\frac{2}{3}$.

Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$
