Question

Last week cam's ice cream shop sold 52 chocolate chip ice cream cones out of a total of 997 ice cream cones. based on this data, what is a reasonable estimate of the probability that the next ice cream cone sold is a chocolate chip ice cream cone?

O 52/52
O 52/997
O 945/997
O 52/945

Answer 1

The correct answer would be: O 52/997

To estimate the probability of the next ice cream cone being a chocolate chip ice cream cone, you'd consider the proportion of chocolate chip cones sold in relation to the total number of cones sold.

Given that 52 out of 997 cones were chocolate chip, the probability would be expressed as the ratio of chocolate chip cones to the total cones sold:

52/997

So, the correct answer would be: O 52/997
