You’re having dinner at a restaurant that serves 5 kinds of pasta (spaghetti, bow ties, fettuccine, ravioli, and macaroni) in 4
different flavors(tomato sauce, cheese sauce, meat sauce, and olive oil) if you randomly pick your kind of pasta and flavor what is the probability that you’ll end up with bow ties, cheese sauce, or both?
There are five different pasta choices. The probability for you to pick one of them is: 1/5 There are four different flavors. The probability for you to pick one of them is: 1/4
The probability for you to pick both bow ties and cheese sauce is the same as picking ravioli and olive oil, or spaghetti and meat sauce. The probability is: 1/5 x 1/4 = 0.05
