Question

an ice cream shop recorded how many sundaes it recently sold. type of sundae: banana split (6), brownie (23), peanut butter (12), mint cookie (15). based on this data, what is the probability that the next sundae sold will be a brownie sundae? options: $\frac{1}{23}$, $\frac{23}{33}$, $\frac{23}{56}$, $\frac{23}{100}$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of sundaes sold

Add the number of each type: \(6 + 23 + 12 + 15 = 56\)

Step2: Calculate probability of brownie sundae

Probability is number of brownie sundaes divided by total: \(\frac{23}{56}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{23}{56}\)
