Question

Peter wants to pick two things to do on his day off. Peter is very organized so he made a table of possible choices.

If he picks one event from each category (Dinner and Activity), what is the probability that he will spend under $25?

5%


42%


50%


71%

Answer 1

I can't see the table image you attached. Could you either re-upload the picture or type the dinner and activity prices from the table here?

(Assuming each dinner choice and each activity choice are equally likely, the method is:
1. List every possible pair (one dinner + one activity).
2. Count how many pairs have total cost < $25.
3. Probability = (number of favorable pairs) / (total number of pairs). Convert to percent.)

Send the numbers and I'll compute which answer (5%, 42%, 50%, or 71%) is correct.
