Answer:

Correct choice is B

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three possible outcomes for main course menu: chicken, steak and shrimp. The probability that someone chooses steak is

There are four possible outcomes for vegetable menu: potatoes, asparagus, corn and cauliflower. The probability that someone chooses potatoes is

[tex]Pr_2=\dfrac{1}{4}.[/tex]
