At a museum cafe you can get a pre-made boxed lunch with a sandwich, fruit, and drink for only 3$
.
The sandwiches are made with either turkey or ham.
The fruit is either an apple or an orange.
The drink is either bottled water or juice.
The number of boxes they make for every possible combination is the same. If you randomly choose one of the boxed lunches without knowing the contents, what is the probability you will get a turkey sandwich and a bottle of water in your box?
A) 1/3
B) 1/2
C) 1/4
D) 1/8
Since the number of boxes they make for every possible combination is the same, we can assume that there are 4 possible combinations: turkey sandwich and bottled water, turkey sandwich and juice, ham sandwich and bottled water, and ham sandwich and juice.
The probability of getting a turkey sandwich is 1/2, and the probability of getting a bottled water is 1/2. Therefore, the probability of getting a turkey sandwich and a bottled water is (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4.
The probability of getting a turkey sandwich and a bottle of water in your box is 1/4.
Therefore, the answer is C) 1/4.
