A basket of fruit contains 5 banners, 8 mangos, and 7 apples. Calculate the probability of se an apple and a banana

1 answer

The probability of selecting an apple is 7/(5+8+7) = 7/20.

The probability of selecting a banana is 5/(5+8+7) = 5/20.

Therefore, the probability of selecting an apple and a banana is (7/20) * (5/20) = 0.0875 or 8.75%.
