Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total number of desserts is 2 (key lime pies) + 5 (pints of butter pecan ice cream) + 4 (pineapple upside down cakes) = 11. The probability of selecting a pint of butter pecan ice cream is the number of pints of butter pecan ice cream (5) divided by the total number of desserts (11), which simplifies to $\frac{5}{11}$. However, none of the provided options exactly match $\frac{5}{11}$, suggesting a potential error in the transcription of the options or in the interpretation of the question. Given the options, the closest or potentially intended correct answer based on the provided calculation would be $\frac{2}{11}$, but this does not accurately reflect the calculation of $\frac{5}{11}$ for the probability of selecting a pint of butter pecan ice cream.
