Answer 1

The probability that Akira will choose apple pie and Paula will choose strawberry cheesecake for dessert is; B: 0.028

What is the probability of selection?

We are told that;

There are 6 dessert options menu.

Now, Akira and Paula like all of the choices equally. Thus, probability of selecting any of the 6 menus will be; P(select 1 menu) = 1/6

Thus, probability that they select the preferred menu written in the question is; P(both select 1 menu) = 1/6 * 1/6 = 0.028
