Question

Skye's Ice Cream Shoppe is Mario's favorite place to get ice cream. Unfortunately, because he was late arriving, his friends had already ordered. He did not know what they had ordered for him. They told him that is was either a waffle cone or a sundae and that the ice cream flavor was apricot, chocolate, or blackberry.

What is the probability he will get a sundae?


A.25%

B. 85%

C. 50%

D.90%

Answer 1

C. 50%

Explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

They told him that is was either a waffle cone or a sundae

Two options, one of which is a sundae

So 1/2 = 0.5 = 50% probability he will get a sundae, and the answer is given by option C
