To find the number that would be located in the intersection of the three ice cream flavors (chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry) in the Venn diagram, we first need to analyze the data provided:
- Chocolate: 8
- Vanilla: 6
- Strawberry: 2
- Mix of all three: 14 (this suggests that these individuals like all three flavors)
- Don’t eat ice cream: 3
Since those who prefer a mix are explicitly stated as liking all three flavors, the number located in the intersection of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry would be the number of people who prefer the mix, which is 14.
However, the problem might be interpreted to mean the intersection of only those who prefer each specific flavor, as opposed to those who like a mix. If that's the case, there may be an inconsistency with the preferences provided, and you may typically not have a number for those liking only chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry without the mix.
If you simply want the common number seen in many scenarios without specific mixes or need to remain strictly within specified duplicates, the clarification could be sought but from a basic interpretation pertaining to liking all three flavors, the response would lead to those preferring only a mix.
However, if you're just focusing on answer out of responses available you've presented, the more prioritized approach would indeed hint the "14" unless otherwise specified to clarify preference overlaps.
For explicit responsive numbers as given without counting a mix, we could be led to assert if the mix is treated as having a partial count on each flavor down to 0 direct overlaps depending how overlaps weren't specified.
The most direct countable representative in the core of the scenario outright without entering overlap would solidify back to a misunderstanding of intersections initially and just calling directly how many love vanilla and strawberry when blended inside. Clarifying about the distinct overlaps was also interesting. This leads us not need to address possible distributions elsewhere.
In conclusion, the number located in the "intersection" based on possible multiple interpretations specified could lead a respondent towards asking specific details on intersects instead or focusing uniquely on likes present only without "mix" within only flavor preferences.
Thus the answer should be interpreted as 14 for those discussing flavors mixed but if strictly for intended pure flavor context view without any convoluted preference mix leading through could backtrack on numbers or preference rounds held.
In short, answering your original inquiry as per diagram layout predominantly when mixed would be 14 directly as stated per inclusivity of flavors based reliance at present interpretations through common Venn diagrams layout also ahead in multiplicity!
