The probability that you'll end up with bow ties, cheese sauce, or both is 20%.
Since you're having dinner at a restaurant that serves 5 kinds of pasta (spaghetti, bow ties, fettuccine, ravioli, and macaroni) in 4 different flavors (tomato sauce, cheese sauce, meat sauce, and olive oil), to determine , if you randomly pick your kind of pasta and flavor, what is the probability that you'll end up with bow ties, cheese sauce, or both, the following calculation should be performed:
- Total options = 5 x 4 = 20
- Cheese sauce options = 5
- Options with bow ties = 4 (3 not including the one with cheese sauce)
- 8/20 = 4/10 = 2/5 = 0.20
Therefore, the probability that you'll end up with bow ties, cheese sauce, or both is 20%.
