Are the answers correct?
A total of 25 people were asked if they prefer chocolate or vanilla ice cream with a regular ice cream cone. 15 chose vanilla with a regular cone, and 10 chose chocolate with a regular cone.
What is the probability that someone will chose vanilla ice cream with a regular cone?
15 out of 25 chose vanilla with regular cone… = 15/25 = 3/5 = 60%

What is the probability that someone will chose Chocolate ice cream with a regular cone?
10 out of 25 chose chocolate ice cream with regular cone… = 10/25 = 2/5 = 40%
I think both are correct
Yes, the answers are correct.
To find the probability, you need to divide the number of favorable outcomes (the number of people who chose the preferred option) by the total number of possible outcomes (the total number of people surveyed).
For the first question, there were 15 people who chose vanilla ice cream with a regular cone out of a total of 25 people surveyed. So the probability of someone choosing vanilla ice cream with a regular cone is 15/25, which simplifies to 3/5 or 60%.
For the second question, there were 10 people who chose chocolate ice cream with a regular cone out of 25 people surveyed. So the probability of someone choosing chocolate ice cream with a regular cone is 10/25, which simplifies to 2/5 or 40%.
