Calculate the probability of selecting an apple or a banana. Express the answer in percent form. (1 point)
• 75%
• 12.5%
• 62.5%
• 0
To calculate the probability of selecting an apple or a banana, we need to add the number of apples and bananas in the basket, which is 10 bananas + 5 apples = 15 total apples and bananas.
The probability of selecting an apple or a banana is:
(15 total apples and bananas) / (20 total fruits in the basket) = 15/20 = 0.75 or 75%
Therefore, the correct answer is:
• 75%
