To calculate the probability of selecting an apple or a banana, you need to find the total number of apples and bananas in the basket, and divide it by the total number of fruits.
Total number of apples + bananas = 10 bananas + 5 apples = 15 fruits
Total number of fruits = 10 bananas + 5 mangoes + 5 apples = 20 fruits
Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes)
Probability = 15/20 = 0.75
Converting to percent form:
0.75 x 100% = 75%
Therefore, the probability of selecting an apple or a banana is 75%.
