First, calculate the total number of fruits in the basket: 5 bananas + 8 mangoes + 7 apples = 20 fruits
The probability of selecting an apple as the first fruit is 7/20, and the probability of selecting a banana as the second fruit is 5/19 (since one apple has already been selected).
Therefore, the probability of selecting an apple and a banana is: (7/20) * (5/19) = 35/380 = 0.0921 or approximately 9.21%
A basket of fruit contains five bananas eight mangoes and seven apples two fruits are randomly selected without replacement calculate the probability of selecting an apple and a banana
