Question

At a local ice cream parlor, there are 6 different flavors of ice cream from which to select (strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, rocky road, mint chocolate chip, and peanut butter). Each ice cream sundae must include 2 different flavors of ice cream; what is the probability that the next customer's sundae will have vanilla and chocolate (in either order)

Answer 1

1/30

Explanation:

let, vanilla be the first ice cream.

hence, the probability of choosing vanila= 1/6

let, chocolate be the second ice cream.

hence, the probability of choosing chocolate=1/5

hence, the probability that the next customer's sundae will have vanilla and chocolate (in either order)= (1/6)×(1/5)

=1/30
