Hope i helped! Have a good day :)

Answer 2

• D. The soup is equally likely to be tomato or beef soup

Explanation:

Given cans of soup:

• 2 cans of tomato soup
• 4 cans of chicken soup
• 3 cans of cheese soup
• 2 cans of beef soup

Total number of cans:

• 2 + 4 + 3 + 2 = 11

Probability of each type of soup can:

• P(Tomato) = 2/11
• P(Chicken) = 4/11
• P(Cheese) = 3/11
• P(Beef) = 2/11

The answer choices:

A. The soup is more likely to be tomato than chicken soup

• 2/11 > 4/11, False

B. The soup is less likely to be cheese than beef soup

• 3/11 < 2/11, False

C. The probability that the soup will be chicken is less than the

probability that the soup will be cheese.

• 4/11 < 3/11, False

D. The soup is equally likely to be tomato or beef soup

• 2/11 = 2/11, True
