A basket of fruit contains 10 bananas five mangoes and five apples a fruit is selected at random calculate the probability of selecting an apple or a banana Express the answer in percent form
There are a total of 20 fruits in the basket (10 bananas + 5 mangoes + 5 apples).
The probability of selecting an apple or a banana is calculated by dividing the number of apples and bananas by the total number of fruits:
P(apple or banana) = (10 + 5) / 20 = 15 / 20 = 0.75
To express this probability in percent form, you multiply by 100:
0.75 x 100 = 75%
Therefore, the probability of selecting an apple or a banana from the basket of fruits is 75%.
