The correct Answer is:
To find the probability that Sandy visits Esha in the evening, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Possible Outcomes**: Sandy can spend her evening in three different ways: - Reading a book - Visiting her friend Seema - Visiting her friend Esha Therefore, the total possible outcomes are: - Reading a book - Visiting Seema - Visiting Esha 2. **Count the Total Outcomes**: The total number of outcomes is 3 (as listed above). 3. **Identify the Favorable Outcome**: The favorable outcome for the event we are interested in (Sandy visiting Esha) is just one specific outcome, which is: - Visiting Esha Thus, the number of favorable outcomes is 1. 4. **Apply the Probability Formula**: The formula for probability is given by: \[ \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of Favorable Outcomes}}{\text{Total Number of Outcomes}} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ \text{Probability of visiting Esha} = \frac{1}{3} \] 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the probability that Sandy visits Esha in the evening is \(\frac{1}{3}\).
