Question

What is the probability that a randomly selected soup with chicken noodle and was ordered in a bowl? Simplify any fractions.

Answer 1

The first step is to find the total population of the sample, to do it, find the sum of each column and then find the sum of both results:

The total population is 18.

Now, to find the probability that a selected soup was chicken noodle and ordered in a bowl, divide the number of favourable cases, that are 3, by the number of total cases, which is 18:

`P=(3)/(18)=(1)/(6)`

The probability is 1/6.
