Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are 33 flavors of ice cream, and Rhonda is ordering a double-scoop. So, there are 33 * 33 = 1089 possible combinations of flavors. There are 2 flavors that Rhonda is interested in, Cherry Vanilla and Butterscotch. So, there are 2 * 33 = 66 possible combinations of flavors that include either Cherry Vanilla or Butterscotch. Therefore, the probability that Rhonda will order Cherry Vanilla or Butterscotch is 66 / 1089 = 1 / 16.
