Answer 1

Given:

Total number of dinner choices = 7

Let's find the probability that your favorite dish is the chosen dish at the venue.

Given that you are to choose just one dish.

Probability can be said to be a measure of the likeklihood of an event to occur.

The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1.

To find the probability, apply the formula below:

`\begin{gathered} P(\text{fav)}=\frac{\text{Number of favorite dish}}{\text{Total number of dishes}} \\ \\ P(\text{fav)}=(1)/(7) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the probability the that your favorite dish is the chosen dish at the venue is

`(1)/(7)`

`(1)/(7)`
