The total number of fruits is 5 + 3 = 8.
The probability of picking an apple on the first try is 5/8.
The probability of picking an apple on the second try, given that an apple was picked on the first try, is 4/7.
Therefore, the overall probability of picking two apples is:
(5/8) * (4/7) = 20/56 = 5/14
So, the chance of picking two apples out of 5 apples and 3 pears at random is 5/14.
The probability of picking an apple on the first try is 5/8.
The probability of picking an apple on the second try, given that an apple was picked on the first try, is 4/7.
Therefore, the overall probability of picking two apples is:
