Mischa is throwing a birthday party for her sister and decides to survey all who are attending on which ice cream flavor they prefer: chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or a mix. She finds that 8 prefer chocolate, 6 prefer vanilla, 2 prefer strawberry, 14 prefer a mix of the three, and 3 don’t eat ice cream. If you were to draw a Venn diagram of your findings, which number would be located in the intersection of the three flavors?(1 point)

To determine the number that would be located in the intersection of the three flavors (chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry), we need to analyze the data provided.

We have:

  • 8 prefer chocolate
  • 6 prefer vanilla
  • 2 prefer strawberry
  • 14 prefer a mix of the three
  • 3 don’t eat ice cream.

The 14 who prefer a mix of the three flavors would be located in the intersection of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry in the Venn diagram.

Therefore, the number located in the intersection of the three flavors would be 14.
