An ice cream shop has two cartons of ice creamone chocolate

An ice cream shop has two cartons of ice cream-one chocolate and one strawberry. They also have two toppings-one peanuts and one rainbow sprinkles. If you get one scoop with one topping, both chosen at random, what is the like hood that you\'ll get chocolate with peanuts? (Note: the ice cream is analogous to ova, and the topping is analogous to sperm.)

Solution

Probability of getting chocolate scoop out of chocolate & strawberry = 1 / 2

Probability of getting peanuts toppings out of peanut & rainbow sprinkles = 1/2

Proabability of getting chocolate with peanut out of four total combinations possible ( chocolate + peanut, strawberry + peanut, strawberry + rainbow sprinkles, chocolate + rainbow sprinkles ) = 1/ 4
