Since there are 6 possible ice cream flavours and each outcome is equally likely, the probability of rolling chocolate is 1/6. Out of the 5 rolls given, there is only one 6, which corresponds to chocolate, so the answer is 1 customer. Therefore, the best choice is B) 2, which is closest to 1. Since we rolled a six-sided die, there are six possible outcomes for each roll, including chocolate. Therefore, the probability of rolling chocolate for each individual roll is 1/6. Out of the 5 rolls given, we see that chocolate was rolled twice (once for the second roll and once for the fifth roll). Therefore, the answer is B)2.
