Question

At an ice cream shops there are 3 different flavors of ice cream and 10 different toppings. What is the probability of the next customer ordering strawberry ice cream with sprinkles? Use a / to represent the fraction bar.

Answer 1

1/30 = 3.33%

Explanation:

There are 3 different flavors available and the favorable outcome is only strawberry flavor. There are 10 toppings and the favorable outcome is sprinkle. To calculate the probability for the two events, you just need to multiply both. The calculation will be:

P(strawberry) * P(sprinkle) = 1/3 * 1/10= 1/30
