Final answer:

The question involves determining the number of ways to stack four ice cream scoops with specific conditions.


Explanation:

Permutation without repetition:

If we choose chocolate as the first scoop, then there are three flavors left to choose from for the bottom scoop. The total number of ways to order the four scoops with chocolate not on the bottom is 3!

Example:

  1. First scoop: Chocolate
  2. Second scoop: Cherry
  3. Third scoop: Vanilla
  4. Fourth scoop: Strawberry

This results in a total of 3 ways to stack the four scoops based on the given conditions.
