Question

a school cafeteria wants to find out what combinations of food and beverage students are ordering. the results are represented in the two-way table below: food pizza hamburger salad water 11 7 23 beverage slurpee 18 19 5 soda 28 12 14 of the students who ordered salad, what is the probability that a student also ordered water? a.) 42 over 137 b.) 23 over 42 c.) 19 over 42 d.) 23 over 137

Answer 1

The probability that a student who ordered salad also ordered water is 5/23.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that a student who ordered salad also ordered water, we need to determine the number of students who ordered both salad and water and divide it by the total number of students who ordered salad. From the two-way table, we can see that 23 students ordered salad and 5 of them also ordered water. Therefore, the probability is calculated as:

Number of students who ordered salad and water / Number of students who ordered salad = 5 / 23 = 5/23
