Question

Jamal has the following choices for his pizza: white sauce or red sauce, white cheese or yellow cheese, mushrooms, pepperoni or sausage. What is the probability that he creates a pizza that has red sauce and white cheese?

Answer 1

Well, since their are four options, and Jamal is likely to pick any of them, 25% is the answer. 25 is also 1/4.

Answer 2

25%

Explanation:

Given that Jamal has the following choices for his pizza: white sauce or red sauce, white cheese or yellow cheese, mushrooms, pepperoni or sausage

Thus we find that in total

there can be 2x2x3 =12 pizzas

(since there are 2 sauces, 2 cheeses and 3 types of others)

Favourable outcome for a pizza that has red sauce and white cheese

= 1x1x3 = 3

Hence probability = favourable outcomes/total outcomes

= 3/12 = 0.25

Answer is 0.25 or 25%
