To calculate the probability of selecting an apple or a banana, we need to find the total number of apples and bananas in the basket and divide it by the total number of fruits in the basket.
Total number of apples and bananas = 10 (bananas) + 5 (apples) = 15
Total number of fruits in the basket = 10 (bananas) + 5 (mangoes) + 5 (apples) = 20
Probability of selecting an apple or a banana = 15/20 = 3/4 = 0.75
Therefore, the probability of selecting an apple or a banana is 0.75.
A basket of fruits contain 10 bananas, 5 mangoes, and 5 apples. A fruit is selected at random. Calculate the probability of selecting an apple or a banana.
