Step by step solution

01

Given Information.

A cafeteria offers a three-course meal consisting of an entree, a starch, and a dessert.

02

Explanation.

3Course meal has to be selected i.e1Entree, 1starch, and 1Dessert. For Entrees, we have2options of Chicken or Roasted Beef. For Starch, we have3options of Pasta, Rice, or Potatoes.

For dessert, we have 4options Ice cream, Jello, apple pie, or a peach.

03

Part (a) Explanation.

To calculate the no. of outcomes we have to find out the total no. of possible combinations of Entree, Starch, and Dessert. Total No. of ways to select1Entree from2Entree=2Cl=2. Total No. of ways to select 1Starch from 3Starch=3Cl=3. Total No. of ways to select1. Dessert from 4Dessert=4Cl=4. Total outcome=(No. of ways to select1Entree)(No. of ways to select 1Starch) (No. of ways to select 1 Dessert). Total no. of the outcomelocalid="1649313824420" =234=24.

04

Part (b) Explanation.

Total No. of ways to select DessertA=1(Ice cream chosen). To calculate the no. of outcomes in Awe have to find out the total no. of possible combinations of Entree and Starch. Total No. of ways to select 1Entree from 2Entree=2Cl=2. Total No. of ways to select1Starch from3Starch=3Cl=3.

The total outcome inA=((No. of ways to select Entree)(No. of ways to select Starch)(No. of ways to select Dessert). Total no. of the outcomelocalid="1649313847437" =231=6.

05

Part (c) Explanation.

Total No. of ways to select Entree=1(Chicken chosen). To calculate the no. of outcomes in Bwe have to find out the total no. of possible combinations of Dessert and Starch. Total No. of ways to select 1Dessert from4Dessert=4Cl=4. Total No. of ways to select1starch from 3Starch=3Cl=3.

The total outcome inB=(No. of ways to select Entree)(No. of ways to select Starch)(No. of ways to select Dessert). Total no. of outcome=134=12.

06

Part (d) Explanation.

Total No. of ways to select Entree=1(Chicken chosen). Total No. of ways to select Dessert =1(Ice Cream Chosen). To calculate the no. of outcomes in ABwe have to find the ways of choosing Starch. Total No. of ways to select 1 Starch from 3 Starch=3Cl=3.

The total outcome inAB=(No. of ways to select Entree)(No. of ways to select Starch)(No. of ways to select Dessert). Total no. of the outcome=131=3. Outcomes are->

localid="1649313866242" AB=(Chicken, Pasta, Ice Cream), (Chicken, Rice, Ice cream), (Chicken, Potatoes, Ice Cream).

07

Part (e) Explanation.

Total No. of ways to select Starch=1(Rice chosen). To calculate the no. of outcomes in Cwe have to find out the total no. of possible combinations of Dessert and Entree. Total No. of ways to select1Entree from2Entree=2C1=2. Total No. of ways to select1Dessert from3Dessert=4Cl=4.

The total outcome inA=((No. of ways to select Entree)(No. of ways to select Starch)(No. of ways to select Dessert). Total no. of outcome=2/4=8.

08

Part (f) Explanation.

Total No. of ways to select Starch=1(Rice chosen). Total No. of ways to select Entree=1(Chicken Chosen). Total No. of ways to select Dessert= 1(Ice Cream).

The total outcome in A=(No. of ways to select Entree)(No. of ways to select Starch)(No. of ways to select Dessert). Total no. of outcome= 1l=1.Outcome=(Chicken, Rice, Ice Cream).
