The probability of randomly selecting a kid that prefers "hot fudge" is 2/45, since there are 2 kids who prefer hot fudge out of a total of 45 kids.
This is wrong
Apologies for the error. Let's try to calculate it correctly:
P(Kids AND hot fudge) = Number of kids who prefer hot fudge / Total number of kids
P(Kids AND hot fudge) = 2 / 45
Therefore, the correct probability of randomly selecting a kid that prefers "hot fudge" is:
2 / 45
P(Kids AND hot fudge) = Number of kids who prefer hot fudge / Total number of kids
P(Kids AND hot fudge) = 2 / 45
Therefore, the correct probability of randomly selecting a kid that prefers "hot fudge" is:
2 / 45
