Answer:
The probability is 0.08
Explanation:
The choice of bread Dr Porterfield has = Pink, purple
The number of types of breads = 2
The choices of meat = Ham, turkey, beef
The number of types of meat = 3
The choice of cheese = American, Swiss, Portuguese, Japanese
The number of types of cheese = 4
The probability of selecting purple bread from pink or purple = 1/2
The probability of selecting beef or turkey from the 3 choices of meat = 2/3
The probability of selecting Japanese cheese from the fourvtypes of cheese = 1/4
Therefore, the probability he will select a sandwich on purple bread with either beef or turkey and has Japanese cheese = (1/2) × (2/3) × (1/4) = 2/24 = 1/12 = 0.08
