Question

the owner of a sushi restaurant looked over some recent orders. he noted how many yellowtail and salmon rolls had been ordered.
not spicy | spicy
yellowtail | 2 | 2
salmon | 3 | 4
what is the probability that a randomly selected sushi roll contains yellowtail and is not spicy?
simplify any fractions.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of sushi rolls

Add all the values in the table: \(2 + 2+3 + 4=11\)

Step2: Find the number of yellowtail - not spicy rolls

From the table, the number of yellowtail - not spicy rolls is \(2\)

Step3: Calculate the probability

Probability formula is \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\). Here, \(P = \frac{2}{11}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{2}{11}\)
