Answer 1

The probability that a female student chose strawberry ice cream is 9 divided by 44, which is approximately 0.2045 or 20.45%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a female student chose strawberry ice cream can be calculated by dividing the number of female students who chose strawberry ice cream by the total number of female students. According to the data provided, 9 female students chose strawberry ice cream out of a total of 44 female students.

The probability is calculated as follows:

Probability (Female student chose strawberry) = Number of female students who chose strawberry / Total number of female students

Probability (Female student chose strawberry) = 9 / 44

This simplifies to approximately 0.2045 or 20.45%.
