Question

Mr.Rosado is making a stop at his favorite ice cream shop.

He can choose on flavor of ice cream: chocolate, strawberry, vanilla or rocky road.

He can put his ice cream in a sugar cone, waffle cone or a cup.

What is the p(chocolate ice cream AND a waffle cone)?

Answer 1

1/12

Explanation:

Assuming his choices are equally likely (important: he's choosing randomly)...

Probability of selecting chocolate: 1/4 (1 of 4 equally likely choices)

Probability of selecting waffle cone: 1/3

Probability of selecting both: 1/4 x 1/3 = 1/12

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to get ice cream! :-)
