$\frac{1}{4}$
Solution
Solution Steps
To determine the probability that a peanut butter cookie will be selected, we need to identify the correct fraction that represents this probability. The correct fraction should be simplified and valid.
Step 1: Identify the Given Options
The options provided for the probability of selecting a peanut butter cookie are:
\( 0 \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
\( \frac{4}{2} \) (which simplifies to \( 2 \))
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
Step 2: Simplify the Fractions
The valid fractions from the options are:
\( 0 \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
\( 2 \)
Step 3: Determine the Probability
Among the valid fractions, the probabilities that can be interpreted as valid options for selecting a peanut butter cookie are \( 0 \), \( \frac{1}{4} \), \( \frac{1}{3} \), and \( 2 \). The most reasonable probability value in the context of this question is \( \frac{1}{4} \), as probabilities must lie within the range of \( 0 \) to \( 1 \).
