Answer:

The probability of not selecting a drumstick and a vanilla ice cream cup is 92.86%.

Explanation:

Since there are 10 ice cream sandwiches, 5 drumsticks, and 6 vanilla ice cream cups in the freezer, and I randomly select one and give it to my sister, and then randomly select one for me, to determine what is the probability of not Selecting a drumstick and a vanilla ice cream cup, the following calculation should be performed:

5/21 x 6/20 = X

0.2380 x 0.3 = X

0.0714 = X

1- 0.0714 = X

0.9286 = X

0.9286 x 100 = 92.86

Therefore, the probability of not selecting a drumstick and a vanilla ice cream cup is 92.86%.
