Answer 1

26

Explanation:

Given that :

2 out of every 5 people buys vanilla ice cream;

If Total number of ice cream sold in a day = 65 ; how many will be vanilla ;

Probability of purchasing vanilla ; p(vanilla) = 2/5 = 0.4

Hence, expected number who bought vanilla :

p(vanilla) * total number of icecream sold

0.4 * 65 = 26

Hence, about 26 of the 65 icecream sold are vanilla flavor.
