There are 4 oranges, 7 bananas, and 5 apples in a fruit basket. Mansour selects a piece of fruit at random and then Mahmoud selects a piece of fruit at random. Find the probability that two apples are chosen​

1/12

Step-by-step explanation: 5/16 x 4/15 = 20/240= 1/12

Hi there I hope you are having an great day :) There are 4 oranges, 7 bananas, and 5 apples in a fruit basket. Mansour selects a piece of fruit at random and then  Mahmoud selects a piece of fruit at random. Find the probability that two apples are chose. (5/16)*(4/15) Mya selects a fruit and you want it to be an apple so that is 5 apples out of 16 fruits total. After Mya selects one fruit and it is an apple, there is one less fruit and apple. So 5-1/16-1. Since the is also in one case, not two separate ones, you multiply the two fractions so (5/16)*(4/15).
