UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

Let the sample space be the set of all possible combinations of bread, meat, and cheese.

- Bread options: $$2$$ (white or wheat)
- Meat options: $$2$$ (turkey or beef)
- Cheese options: $$3$$ (American, Swiss, or cheddar)

The total number of outcomes is:
$$
2 \times 2 \times 3 = 12
$$

There is exactly $$1$$ desired outcome: a sandwich with white bread, turkey, and Swiss cheese.

Thus, the probability is:
$$
\frac{1}{12}
$$
The probability is $$ \frac{1}{12} $$.
