Answer 1

## Step 1: Identify the Total Number of Combinations### The table shows all possible combinations of two toppings from a list of four items (Pepperoni, Ham, Sausage, Olives). Each combination is represented by a unique code. There are 4 rows and 4 columns of combinations, making a total of

possible combinations.## Step 2: Identify the Desired Combination### We need to find the probability of choosing a pizza with both sausage and pepperoni. From the table, the code for this combination is "SP" (Sausage + Pepperoni).## Step 3: Count the Occurrences of the Desired Combination### In the table, there is only one cell that contains the code "SP". Therefore, there is only one occurrence of the desired combination.## Step 4: Calculate the Probability### The probability of randomly choosing a pizza with sausage and pepperoni is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. This can be calculated as follows:
