Question

At a museum cafe you can get a pre-made boxed lunch with a sandwich, fruit, and drink for only $3.

The sandwiches are made with either turkey or ham.
The fruit is either an apple or an orange.
The drink is either bottled water or juice.
The number of boxes they make for every possible combination is the same. If you randomly choose one of the boxed lunches without knowing the contents, what is the probability you will get a turkey sandwich and a bottle of water in your box?

Answer 1

There are 2 choices for sandwich × 2 for fruit × 2 for drink = 8 equally likely boxes. The ones with turkey and bottled water allow either fruit (2 cases), so 2 favorable boxes. Probability = 2/8 = 1/4.
