For breakfast, Clarissa can choose from oatmeal, cereal, french toast, or scrambled eggs. She thinks that if she selects a breakfast at random, it is likely will be oatmeal. s she correct. Explain your reasoning.

Respuesta :

There is a 25% that Clarissa will choose oatmeal. That is because there are 4 options that can be chosen at random. So the probability to choose any of the meals would be 25%.
No, Clarissa is NOT correct. The probability of picking oatmeal at random is 1/4 because she has 4 choices, and she has the same probability for all the choices. Lets divide so you can understand better:-

 100 ÷ 4 = 25 = 1/4 = 25%.

So, she is wrong.
