Question

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 that it will be oatmeal. Is the correct? Explain your reasoning.

I am not sure on the above at all. This has me a bit confused.

Answer 1

Hello. The below is my answer about the breakfast:

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. -Is this correct?

Answer 2

How could that be? Why doesn't she have an equal change of any of the four breatkfasts?

Answer 3

Yes, it's 1 change out of 4.

Answer 4

Answer 5
