Answer 1

3/7 is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C is correct

$\frac{3}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition of probability:

$\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of possible outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

As per the given statement:

The local high school is hosting an ice cream social for new students.

They record the ice cream choices of the students throughout the event.

We have to find the probability that a male student chooses vanilla ice cream.

Total number of vanilla ice cream = 14

Number of  male student chooses vanilla ice cream = 6

then;

By definition we have;

$\text{Probability that a male student chooses vanilla ice cream} = \frac{6}{14} = \frac{3}{7}$

Therefore, $\frac{3}{7}$ is the probability that a male student chooses vanilla ice cream
