A basket of fruits contains 5 bananas, 8 mangoes, and 7 apples. Two fruits are randomly selected without replacement. Calculate the probability of selecting an apple and a banana. (1 point)

Question

7/76
7/80
3/5
21/190

Answer 1

To calculate the probability of selecting an apple and a banana, we need to find the probability of selecting an apple first (7/20) and then multiplying it by the probability of selecting a banana next (5/19, since one apple is already picked).

Probability = (7/20) * (5/19) = 35/380 = 7/76

Therefore, the probability of selecting an apple and a banana is 7/76.
