No.

350 liked only Vanilla

250 liked Vanialla and Chocolate

50 liked only Chocolate

That makes 650 [the remaining 350 did not like either].

Therefore the probability that a randomly selected person likes at least one of the two tastes is 650/1000 or 65%

How do you turn probability into a fraction?

An empirical estimate of the probability of an event is the ratio of the number of succesful outcomes to the total number of trials. By definition, the ratio is a fraction. However, there are many events for which the theoretical probability is related to irrational numbers. For example, it you randomly drop a pin on a floor of wooden boards, the probability that the pencil lies across a lateral join is related to pi. Being irrational, this cannot be expressed as a fraction.
