A) 0.01
B) 0.08
C) 0.58

Answer 1

B) 0.08

Explanation:

Answer 2

Correct choice is B

Explanation:

There are three possible outcomes for main course menu: chicken, steak and shrimp. The probability that someone chooses steak is

`Pr_1=(1)/(3).`

There are four possible outcomes for vegetable menu: potatoes, asparagus, corn and cauliflower. The probability that someone chooses potatoes is

`Pr_2=(1)/(4).`

Use the product rule to determine the probability that someone chooses steak and potatoes:

`Pr=Pr_1\cdot Pr_2=(1)/(3)\cdot (1)/(4)=(1)/(12)\approx 0.08.`
