Make Sense? Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. An apartment complex offers apartments with four different options, designated by A through D. There are an equal number of apartments with each combination of options. $$ \begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text { A } & \text { B } & \text { C } & \text { D } \\ \hline \text { one bedroom } & \text { one } & \text { first } & \text { lake view } \\ \text { two bedrooms } & \text { bathroom } & \text { floor } & \text { golf course } \\ \text { three } & \text { two } & \text { second } & \text { view } \\ \text { bedrooms } & \text { bathrooms } & \text { floor } & \text { no special } \\ & & & \text { view } \\ \hline \end{array} $$ If there is only one apartment left, what is the probability that it is precisely what a person is looking for, namely two bedrooms, two bathrooms, first floor, and a lake or golf course view?
