At an ice cream shop, 4 of the last 12 cones sold had chocolate ice cream. Considering this data, how many of the next 15 cones sold would you expect to have chocolate ice cream?

Answer 1

Based on the data given, we can calculate the probability of a cone sold having chocolate ice cream as:

P(chocolate) = 4/12 = 1/3

Therefore, we would expect 1/3 of the next 15 cones sold to have chocolate ice cream. This can be calculated as:

Expected number of cones with chocolate ice cream = (1/3) * 15 = 5

So, we would expect 5 out of the next 15 cones sold to have chocolate ice cream.
