Answer:

1

Explanation:

The probability of an event occurring is the ratio of the possible outcome to the total outcome. In this case, 15 friends were chosen and the choices are either strawberry or vanilla.

Since there are no other flavors, a friend picked at random will either pick strawberry or vanilla.

Therefore probability that this friend's favorite flavor is either strawberry or vanilla is 1.
