Question

The manager at Braums recorded the orders of their customers over the last hour and had the following number of ice cream cones 4 vanilla, 5 chocolate, 2 peanut butter cup, 3 strawberry, and 2 coffee. Based on these numbers, what is the probability of the next customer ordering peanut butter cup? Write your answer as a decimal

Answer 1

To find the probability of the next customer ordering peanut butter cup, we need to determine the total number of ice cream cones and the number of cones that are peanut butter cup.

The total number of cones is:

4 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 16

The number of cones that are peanut butter cup is 2.

Therefore, the probability of the next customer ordering peanut butter cup is:

2/16 = 0.125

So, the probability of the next customer ordering peanut butter cup is 0.125 or 12.5%.
