Sample M is most likely to be a chicken breast since the provided probability information pertains only to meat pieces, specifically pork chops and chicken breasts, and does not include other food items like rice, mango, or butter.

In order to determine which sample M is likely to be – chicken, rice, a mango, or butter – we need to analyze the probability information provided about meat pieces at a local restaurant:

The menu lists weights for pork chops and chicken breasts.

The server will randomly select one piece of meat to serve.

Without specific probabilities given for each type of meat and their respective weights, it's impossible to accurately determine if sample M is most likely to be chicken, rice, a mango, or butter.

However, we can assume that food items not mentioned in the probability information (rice, mango, butter) are not included in the selection process described, which focuses on pork chops and chicken breasts.

Therefore, by default, sample M is more likely to be a chicken breast since it is one of the two items mentioned in the given scenario.
