Is the Basic Activity with Fragments the standard new basic activity?

As I'm going through Android tutorials, I'm seeing a lot of 'make a new basic activity.' The basic activity shown in Android Studio has a button on it and that's what I'm seeing in the tutorials, but when I make a new basic activity I get one with fragments. It always has fragment_first.xml and fragment_second.xml. None of the tutorials I've seen have had any fragments in their new basic activities.

I've spent several days trying to figure this out. I haven't been able to find a single resource on it except this one. I even got in contact with one of the tutorial creators who told me he didn't see what I was seeing. I've verified that I am indeed clicking on "Basic Activity." I'm not sure if I have a setting changed or what.
