Question

An ice cream stand offers cake cones, waffle cones, or cups to hold ice cream. You can get vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, pistachio, or coffee-flavored ice cream. If you order a single scoop, how many outcomes are in the sample space

Answer 1

15 outcomes

Explanation:

We have three choices of ice cream containers.

We have five choices of ice cream flavors.

We are asking for a single scoop.

Using the cake cone 5 times for each flavor, we get 5 possibilities. Repeat this with the other two container choices, and we get 3 * 5 = 15.

Hope this helped! :D
