The answer explains how to find the probability of choosing a chocolate or cake dessert from a dessert buffet.


Explanation:

Probability of choosing chocolate or cake:

There are a total of 6 peanut butter cookies, 4 slices of lemon meringue pie, and 7 slices of chocolate cake available. To find the probability of choosing a chocolate dessert, we divide the number of chocolate desserts by the total number of desserts available: 7/17. To find the probability of choosing a cake dessert, we divide the number of cake desserts by the total number of desserts available: 7/17.
